This is a powerpoint review game for 3rd grade, lessons 10, 12, 14, and 16. I only covered even lessons because this is for a class I have with one of my co-teachers who teaches only even lessons.
-Divide the class into two teams.
-Draw a baseball diamond on the board. Use magnets or cut-outs to indicate players on base.
-There are single, double, triple, and home run questions. One student from each team comes "to bat" (choose and answer a question) and can not have help from his/her team. If the student gets the answer correct, he/she advances the appropriate number of bases, just like in baseball. If there are other players on base, they also advance. If the student answers incorrectly, click the red X and that student is "out."
-3 outs mean you can switch to the other team and the bases are cleared. You can continue with the same questions page or click on "Next Team." There's also a round two if you get to that point.
-Try to keep a batting order by choosing students from their seating assignment. This way all students can participate and the smartest kid doesn't always hit a home run when the bases are loaded.
Warning: the links are a little sensitive because I'm far from a PPT genius so please be careful when clicking the alphabet letters on the questions page. Make sure your mouse is right on top of the letter and the pointy finger mouse icon comes up BEFORE you click!
I've also attached a review PPT that you can use with the students before playing the baseball game.
I'm planning to use this tomorrow so the third graders can jog their memory and feel good about what they learned last year. Hopefully I don't get blank stares.
