Some actively engaging activity examples to use along with word walls include: creating stories, daily journaling, sign language, bingo, guess the word, chants, be the teacher, word wall tiles, and scavenger hunts. These are ways to help keep new words and words that students are currently learning visible. They are also there for them to practice the spelling and to become accustomed to seeing them in their every day environments.
