Vocabulary quizzes by grade
Each of these four quiz videos has 20 words, going from easier to harder. For every word you see four meanings, and only one is real. Pick one before the countdown ends, then watch for the green check on the real meaning. Every word is said aloud, with its pronunciation spelled out on screen. Each video runs about 6 minutes.
Words were chosen for each grade using Wordfib's own difficulty rating. They aren't taken from any school curriculum or official word list.
How to use them
- Classroom warm-up: play one on the board, have everyone write A, B, C or D on a slip, then check together when the green check shows.
- At home: play along, take turns, and keep a running score out of 20. A checkpoint card after words 5, 10 and 15 helps you count as you go.
