Before class, write vocabulary words, leaving space between each letter, and cut the letters so each is separate.  Be sure not to mix words, and put the letters for each word in a small plastic bag.  During class, after reviewing the words, give a baggie to each student (or student pairs) and have them put the letters in order.  This activity is rather time consuming and students may need to help each other.
