Background: Role-play is a type of simulation activity that allows students to be creative in the classroom. Early on, role-playing activities were used by political strategists and business training.
Students also benefit from experiences that allow them to internalize new vocabulary so that they can call upon a definition of a word when they need it in reading. Vocabulary role-play (Frey & Fisher, 2007) is a popular activity in our classes when we need students to absorb lots of technical words quickly. Sentence strips are prepared with the words we have been studying, and students take turns coming to the front of the class.
