Student-Created Vocabulary Review Game | Foldable, Interactive Study Tool for All Grades.
Turn a Classic Playground Game into a Study Tool!
Remember those fun little games we all used to play to find out our “crush”? This nostalgic template transforms that same excitement into a powerful learning activity your students will love! Instead of predicting who they’ll marry, students now use the game to review and practice vocabulary (or any content you choose!).
✨ Why teachers love it:
Works for any grade level and any subject
Adds a playful, hands-on twist to studying
Boosts engagement while reinforcing key concepts
Easy to customize and reuse all year long
Built-in classroom management: keeps students on-task, perfect for review days, and an excellent option for early finishers
Your students will be laughing, folding, and learning all at once—without even realizing how much practice they’re getting in. This resource is proof that sometimes, the best study tools are also the most fun!
Grades 3–12
Reasoning:
The template is generic and can be used with ANY vocabulary set, from elementary word lists to AP Biology terminology.
Folding instructions and gameplay are accessible across grade levels.
Because this activity is content-agnostic and customizable, it fits nearly every subject:
Vocabulary review
Literary terms
Grammar concepts
Unit vocabulary (cells, ecology, genetics, etc.)
Review for quizzes or labs
Key terms from chapters
Historical figures or events
Formula names
Geometry vocabulary
Function terminology
Have students design two different origami games for partner review
Use as a station in a test-prep circuit
Assign students to create and exchange their origami for peer teaching
Create a digital version using Google Slides for absent students
Because this is a general vocabulary activity, literacy standards apply across subjects, primarily:
Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases.
Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings.
Acquire and use accurately a range of general academic and domain-specific words.
Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and domain-specific words in scientific and technical texts.
