In first grade we study solids and liquids. After we've learned the vocabulary that describes solid objects, I give each student a sheet with these vocabulary words.  They cut the words out and move around the classroom taping the words to objects in the room that have that property. I found that it's a great way to assess student understanding of vocabulary and also helps students understand how materials are chosen based on their properties.
