Paint Samples for Vocabulary..Where did That Originate?

It was interesting to see so many people curious about where the idea for using paint sample strips for vocabulary came from, so I thought I would share with you the video where I originally saw the idea:

As you can see, this English teacher uses it to not only teach academic vocabulary, but also to teach the different endings and parts of speech that words can employ. You also get to see the competitive aspect of having students use the words in action!

If this seems like a valuable idea, think about what it might look like in your subject area!
