BOARD GAMES:

MAKE YOUR OWN GAME BOARD
Draw and  color a simple path on poster board. Add pictures that go with a specific chapter or make a generic board that can be used for any chapter. Laminate. I make 8 identical boards (enough for a classroom set). If you used colored poster board you don't have to do as much coloring.

 

          

Purchase some simple colored shapes to use for markers at a craft store/Walmart.

I use old baby wipe containers and make 8 sets. That is enough for a class playing 3-4 people/board. Fill each container with markers and game ?'s.

 



AHEAD OF TIME:
Print off question cards below. These can be used for a variety of games.

OLD SCIENTIST
(Old Maid)

Copy cards with matching definitions and vocab words plus one old scientist card onto colored cardstock and laminate.

Shuffle and deal out the deck. Students play in groups of 3-4. When it is your turn, pick one card from the hand of the any other player. If you get a match to a card in your hand, lay the two cards face up in front of you and can pick again. If you don't get a match, the next person chooses a card, etc. 

OBJECT OF GAME: Get rid of all the cards in your hand by making matches; Person left with the old scientist card loses.

CONCENTRATION: Remove the "Old Scientist" card and use remaining cards to play Concentration

Do you have a few students who need something to do while others are finishing another assignment?

 

Connect Four
Students practice vocab/concepts by playing Connect Four

 Purchase several Connect Four game sets. Print out review question cards above. Students play with a partner taking turns answering questions. If they answer a question correctly, they get to place a checker in the Connect Four frame. Missed questions mean no checker.
