Negative aspects of the game for me: it can be chaotic, too loud (disrupting other classes) and, MOST IMPORTANTLY... only two can play at a time. This translates to opportunity for students to check out mentally. As a result, I started making this a class-wide, pair-competition activity. Instead of projecting on the board for only 2 students to play, I have students in pairs (or groups of 3/4 if you prefer). Now EVERYONE PLAYS. The difference is that, because the game is on a smaller scale, students either use a marker, a pencil (or maybe a Q-tip) or their finger to identify the answer. Now that I'm using CI, after reading this, I'm excited to try a CI version of my version of Flyswatter!

Then, on the reverse side they illustrated that sentence. I took the pictures and only placed two on the board. The students loved this (it was their first time playing the game). I think, especially at a lower grade level, fewer pictures may be helpful for them.levibaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957756377331703271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838882378909693892.post-40329556484482356542016-10-19T00:25:59.168-04:002016-10-19T00:25:59.168-04:00I enjoyed this one as much as the previous.
