Grudgeball - a mixture of trashketball and the castle game. Groups all get a question and work together. I check one random student’s answer then review the question. Students then take a shot; correct answer=1 point and made shot = 1 point. Students then eliminate points from other teams. Each team starts with 10 points and the goal is to have the most points at the end. If your team runs out of points, you can add two points to your team if you get a correct answer and make your shot.

Stinky feet:

Create a random deck of cards. Add points, take away points, switch points with teams, add points to two teams that are not your own…make score zero… etc.

Each group does the same problem. I “randomly” check one person from each group. If the group got the answer correct then the person I checked goes up and picks a card. This means that no one is ever going to know who wins or loses. It’s completely random! It’s just fun for the kids to team up and see what happens.

When teaching angular vs linear speed, give groups a 5 foot piece of string and have them rotate at a certain angular speed or at a certain linear speed.

But if you would like a link for supplies that might be at a discount, you need to log in and be verified as a teacher. Thanks Donna!
