Description: Split students into teams and separate them by the group (the team should sit/stand together). Designate one team to go first. Ask the team (or a specific student for a more orderly game) a question or read the definition and if they get the word right, give them 5 points (or 50 or 500 if you like). Keep track of points on the board. Then (if they got it right) they can throw a paper ball into the trash can. If they make the shot, double the points, if they miss, they only get the points from answering the question correctly.
