Materials Required: paper, pencils
Activity Time: 10 minutes
Concepts Taught: fun ways to chant word wall words

The following is a list of chants to use with word wall words. We cut them apart and mounted them on cards. The cards are placed in a box. Each day you chant words, the cards are picked. This helps to use a variety instead of the same ones day after day.
