Ben1981 in the 6th grade thread (
http://www.waygook.org/index.php/topic,86671.msg556118.html#msg556118) thought of this fun review activity, and I adapted it for 5th grade and stuck it in a PPT. Students hunt for key sentences in their books, first by reading, then by listening. We will play in teams, and the first team to have all books open to the right page and hands on their heads gets a point. My CoT already stole this idea for her Korean classes, and said students loved it. Thanks Ben1981!
Another review idea that I had: Students have covered almost exactly 100 pages. So we will combine the speed-dating format with the "finger shootout" game described here:
http://www.waygook.org/index.php/topic,84988.msg539391.html#msg539391-Speed dating as usual: Half of students stand, and migrate in order to talk to the seated students.
-Instead of playing RPS to change places, students will play finger shootout. The number of fingers shown is the page number they turn to. Example: seated student throws 7, standing student throws 5 => page 75.
- The first student to say a correct sentence to match the page is the winner, and sits down.
- When time is up, seated students are the winners.
- Content starts on page 8, so for numbers under 10, turn to 100 + that page.
Have fun!
