I bring in a box of Legos (a big box - various pieces). I divide the class into groups of four. This usually makes for five or six groups. On a slip of paper, I write out five or six different scenes (taken from things we studied). Each scene goes on a slip of paper. Groups pull one of the scenes from the hat and have 10 minutes to build the scene with Legos. At the end of the 10 minutes, groups will move around the room and try to guess the scene for other groups. The group with the most correct guesses wins.]]> 2021-06-02 15:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1579949424 https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236069 2021-07-29 16:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236069 scottc69 https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236082 Students are randomly placed together as teams.

(teacher can set parameters for what this looks like) The cards have question on one side, answer on the other. I ask each kid to do 10. Collect 2 cards from each student. Kids keep 8. (if someone did not do homework, I just create a station for them and they work on this while other kids are playing...when they are done, they can join the game) All students stand up and pair up. Goal is to get rid of all cards. Teacher has a small prize for when that happens. When I say "Play" pairs rock paper scissor. Winner picks if they ask questions or answer questions. If they ask questions, they take all questions from partner as well as their own cards. Asker asks as many questions as they can in the time teacher gives. (teacher picks time but keeps it private...students do not know when the timer will go off...this element makes kids try to go faster) Sometimes the timer goes off quickly and an "asker" may end up with a ton of cards. Sometimes the kids are given enough time to go through all the cards. If a student gets the question correct, the partner keeps the card. If they get the card wrong, the student answering gets that card. When a student has no cards left, they get a prize. (I give a sweet treat and the gift of knowledge...for me this is a jolly rancher and 5 new study cards from that stack I collected in the beginning) Students re-pair up for each session. They soon learn there is strategy here. Students must be standing to play. It helps keep them on track. This is a fast-paced game. ]]> 2021-07-29 16:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236570 y_harris https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236576 2021-07-29 16:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236576 https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236608 Works really well for review and formative assessment.]]> 2021-07-29 16:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236608 https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236615 2021-07-29 16:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236615 https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236620 Especially when teaching research terms, use this game to review specific terms that connect together to help find good information]]> 2021-07-29 16:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236620 https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664236625 My kids love Gimkit, too.

Then they take turns reinacting the battles. Easy to differentiate with difficulty of battle.

When it come time to review vocabulary and content towards the end of a unit, I play a game of basketball review. I divide the class into 2 teams (usually east and west to review 2nd grade compass rose skills). A student comes up to hoop with me and answers a question. If correct, they get a point for their team and 3 chances to shoot the basketball for a bonus point. ]]> 2021-07-29 16:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/1664238806 ananinakletzkin https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/2094642357 2022-03-14 20:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/2094642357 https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/2094643080 break students up into groups; call on one person at time from each group to answer a question; if they get it right, they pick a card from the pile; cards vary (your team gets 50 points, you may switch to the winning team, your score goes up or down to zero, your team loses 100 points, subtract 5 from your score, double your total points, bring another team to zero, join the losing team – they need all the help they can get, divide your score by 2, add 100 points, select any team to bring/up down to zero, go the 2^nd place team – hopefully you can help them, reverse direction, give 25 points to the team of your choice, steal 25 points from another team, multiply your score by 2); you can also add fun cards “5 points or 500 if everyone in your team sings the alphabet”

- At least 2 players; minimal teacher supervision
-I used it as a very small group review or practice of vocabulary for definitions or decoding (spices up review ofword-reading lists  that are at or near mastery)Good for differentiation
-Draw or distribute copies of a grid of dots to be connected.   A correct response entitles a player to connect 2 adjoining dots to form a horizontal or vertical line. The object is to have the last line to complete a square - strategizing so you don't give that opportunity to your opponent. Player with the most completed squares wins.
-Probably could be done with an online whiteboard, but I've never tried it.]]> 2022-03-14 21:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/2094702406 stacytwite https://padlet.com/bthomas4/fg3ed7a2wsfog9xi/wish/2114558610 I use the spinner on my promethean board for values, including lose a turn and bankrupt.  The puzzles can be review, or new information.  I usually put the students in teams and they have a printout of the puzzles to fill in.  I scanned an alphabet to keep track of letters and also scan the puzzles to write on using the white board on the promethean.  Before I had a promethean a plain old white board worked well.  The kids like this game, especially when the other teams get a bankrupt.
