Free Vocabulary Learning Games for K-12

I just spent some time with our 9th grader, playing Hig Pigs.  Just saying that name makes me smile, but playing it with him was even better.  We had to think of two one-syllable words to describe a phrase, such as "wonderful dinnerware.*"  Can you think of that one?

There are many other engaging vocabulary games on the Vocabulary is Fun site, for Kindergarten through 12th graders.

Here is how the publisher describes Vocabulary is Fun:
