Realia / Manipulatives

Bring in real objects (realia) to teach vocabulary words.  If you’re teaching them what a globe is, show them a globe.  If you’re teaching them about the solar system, bring in a model.  If you’re teaching them about fool’s gold, have a replica on hand for them to handle.
During math, use manipulatives.  Represent the numbers with real objects, such as cubes or counters.
