Has anyone played the Lucky Wheel Game for the permission? How do you spin the wheel?
For Grade 3, Lesson 5, explaining "cause" and "result" - I found an awesome game from this blog: http://pjgalien.wordpress.com/How I play it: divide the class into teams. Teams each get chances to find two cards that match. Once they find a match, to get points, they'll have to make a sentence including both the cause and the result: "I ate too much, so I got a stomachache." I started to play this with my grumpy 9:00 a.m. Monday class, and they seemed to be getting into it. If you play this, look at the slides first and make sure you know which cards are a match in advance.
3rd grade Stand & Sit review, Lessons 1-5This is a review game ("game" is used loosely here) for third grade, with a few questions from each of the first five chapters.Have all students stand up. Turn on the powerpoint. Students volunteer to answer the question shown on the screen. When a student answers successfully, click once to reveal their "reward." Students can (a) sit down alone, (b) sit down with one student of their choice, (c) sit down with a row of their choice, (d) sit down alone and choose two students to stand up, and (e) sit down a lone and choose a row to stand up. The very last slide allows all students to sit down.There are 20 questions in total. Not only does this usually require some of the more quiet students to talk, it also gets the rest of the class motivated. If your students are anything like mine the idea of standing is basically torture. This will not last a full class period, but would be a good add-on at the end due to its continuous nature and lack of points. Plus it's fun to hear the students argue over who should sit down.
Grade 2 Lesson 5 Part 1 - Catching up with friends1) PowerPoint lesson with included pass dice game at the end 2) Guess Where Game - What's Up? (First time trying it out and it was a hit with all my classes)- Students will work in teams to find the matching cards- Once they find a matching pair, the rest of the class will ask, "What's up?" "How's everything?" "How's it going?" - The team will then read the answer to receive 1 point. Alternatively, you could have someone come up and toss a dice.
