Emoji Context Clues
Great game to place in your google classroom to help students practice context clues. Have students put the slide in present mode and students will be self-corrected if they arrive at the wrong answer. The sentences and words can be easily changed or editing if they don't fit your needs. A great resource I use with my gifted students who finish early.
