Pop song vocabulary
At first I asked my kids to write their own vocabulary lists, but they had trouble with that so I chose words from pop songs that we listen to in class and make a weekly vocabulary list for my students. Then we practice writing sentences with the vocabulary during the week. On their vocabulary quizzes they have to demonstrate that the know the meaning of the word by writing a sentence using it. Vocabulary in pop songs is often much like spoken English and sometimes even has common expressions for kids their age, so they like learning about it.
You could make this simpler or more difficult depending on your kids levels.
