Comprehension Games
Concentration
Concentration is a popular memory game that has been adapted to focus on word comprehension. In this version, players are set up with rows of cards in front of them. Each player takes a turn flipping over two cards at a time, looking for synonyms (words with the same meaning). If the two cards flipped are synonyms, then that player gets another turn. This game works best with smaller groups and requires minimal materials (cards).
This game takes about fifteen minutes to play.
