Flashcard Factory: Students work together in small groups to create vocabulary flashcards by creating example sentences and illustrations for list of teacher vocabulary terms. The teacher and students can review the cards and select the final set together as a class. Finally, the teacher prints the final set or exports it to the free version of Gimkit. (Gimkit is a gamified way for student to practice recall of material you might put on flashcards.)
