2014+Games+Handouts

1/30/2014: Chariho Middle School just hosted our first games with our fifth graders. I will post my question rounds on the wiki by the end of this weekend. We had a character puzzle round, matching title to author, matching first lines, matching last lines, a creative showcase, multiple choice round and an illustration round. I host a 6th grade games in June and I change our games a bit to include charades, a relay race, and a video competition. I am working on creating those games and will post those as well when finished. I will be able to clean up this page a bit once I post the other question rounds. Thanks to everyone for their contributions! - M. Steever


 * List of books to put in each packet**

(MS Publisher file) CMS prints out multiple sets of the book titles on card stock. These are about the size of index cards. Students like being able to touch the cards and I find more students participate. We match author cards with the book title cards posted above.
 * Matching Title to Autho**r

CMS prints out the first lines (one per page) on card stock and challenges students to physically pair the title to the first line. We utilize the Book Title Cards posted above. (MS Publisher file)
 * Matching Title to First Line**

CMS prints out the last lines (one per page) on card stock and then challenges the students to physically pair the title to the last line. (MS Publisher file)
 * Matching Title to Last Line**

CMS prints out images of the objects and tapes one set per two long tables. The groups are given book title cards (posted above) to physically match the title to the object.
 * Matching Title to Object**

The file is too large so I will post it and link it from a different website.
 * Matching Title to Illustration**

CMS prints out letter cards (one card per letter of the character's name). Students cooperatively work to spell out each character's name. Bonus points are awarded if student groups can correctly identify which book the character is from.
 * Character Round**


 * Multiple Choice / Fill in the Blank Round**

CMS used to let student groups select any book they wished to perform. But then we would watch the same book performed for an hour. Now, I take this list below, and print out multiple copies of it so that there is a different list generated for each team. I posted two examples below.
 * Creative Showcase**
