Especially since we were familiar with where to find our numbers within our quadrant. ]]> 2019-02-10 21:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rking38/vxjl4bajfccy/wish/329657876 rking38 https://padlet.com/rking38/vxjl4bajfccy/wish/329658134 This activity gets students talking to each other, discussing strategies and working together to complete a single task. We felt like this activity could be extremely beneficial in establishing a positive group work culture within a classroom. ]]> 2019-02-10 21:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rking38/vxjl4bajfccy/wish/329658134 rking38 https://padlet.com/rking38/vxjl4bajfccy/wish/329658532 We had thoughts about the game not being a possibility for a kindergarten group.  We also thought about the possibility of students becoming too competitive  and showing negativity towards those who might be slower than the others (even after understanding the strategy).  We ultimately thought that this could still be a valuable moment to talk about group work and how it shouldn't be a competition but more of a chance for everyone to work together regardless of how fast or slow they are. ]]> 2019-02-10 21:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rking38/vxjl4bajfccy/wish/329658532 rking38 https://padlet.com/rking38/vxjl4bajfccy/wish/329659986 Marshmallow and toothpick challenge: they must create the tallest, largest, or most creative structure in a set amount of time, each member taking turns doing the actual building.
Minefield: Arrange an obstacle course and have students take turns navigating the "mine field" while blindfolded, with only their teammates to guide them. 
Sneak and peek: One person from each group comes and takes a peek at the structure- they have ten seconds to look at it and memorize it.  The team member will have to explain the structure to the others so that they can recreate it.  If they don't get it right, another member from the team can go and take a peek at the structure and go back to help the others. ]]> 2019-02-10 21:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rking38/vxjl4bajfccy/wish/329659986
