I also have the children make their OWN games.
We play the “matching” game… A LOT!
Use spelling words, vocabulary words, math facts…whatever!
I give 1/2 the class 1 sheet of colored paper.
I give the other half
1 sheet of colored paper, too
BUT a different color!
We fold it into 8 rectangles.
EVERYONE writes the same words on their paper.
THEN…cut the cards apart!
When we are ready…find a partner
WITH DIFFERENT COLORED PAPER!
Turn over all of the cards.
Pick one of YOURS,
then choose one of your partners!
With different colored papers
…no mistaking whose is whose.
When game “time” ( set a timer ) is done
..pick up YOUR cards!
No mixing them up!
Take the cards HOME & PRACTICE!
Here WE ARE at WORK:
Kids in the classroom playing learning games
