A very worthwhile movie to watch … don’t worry, it is only 2 minutes long

This is a great, easy and fun project for students from grade two and up. The project, as the title already mentioned, is “Jeopardy”, which is based of a TV show where contestants get points by nonlinear distortion correctly answering questions.However, this Jeopardy has a math twist to it … Check it out!

Below is a PowerPoint Jeopardy Template, which students use to replace their questions in the provided blanks within the template. In addition, I have also attached worksheets and instructions for the students, as well as an assessment rubric for teachers. – I hope you and your students enjoy it

What is FluBall – What is MathBall?

• Answer: 2 fun games that students really like!!!!

Here is my story how “Mathball” was born: A while ago I was playing “Silentball” (a basic game where kids throw a softball in the classroom). Well, I thought it is a bit too easy. I then modified “Silentball” to “Fluball”. I called one of my balls Flu (no, it has nothing to do with a cold … I was in a Grade 1 class and they asked me the name of the ball, so I just called it Flu)

Well, here is how you play FluBall:

It is basically like SilentBall, with the exception that the ball has to be thrown to the opposite gender (girl, boy, girl, boy, …). In addition, one child cannot hold “Flu” for more than 3-4 seconds in their hands. They also have to call out the name that they want to throw “Flu” to. If they have “Flu” in their hands for more than 3-4 seconds, they have to sit down for about 20 seconds (or discretion to the teacher), when they can sit back up on their desks to participate again.

Well, MathBall is derived from FluBall. The rule with MathBall is that when the student calls out the name of the opposite gender, they have to also ask a basic math question. Oh, the other rule is that they also have to be able to answer the question as well (that would eliminate that they ask next to impossible questions ) If they are unable to answer the question, they have to again sit down for 20 seconds

Students really like this type of game – for them it is fun, for us teachers it is the curriculum

Enjoy playing FluBall or MathBall

Here is a cool idea for a grade 4-7 class: Airband!!! The way how it works is you group students into 3-5. You then allow them to pick one song they like (it has to be an appropriate: no swear words or anything), and you ask them to come up with a choreography to their selected song.

Give them about 4 classroom periods to practice. After, have a wonderful performance.

NOTE: Each group will need their own CD Player. In addition, they need their own space to rehearse. For example, one group can rehearse in the classroom, another in the hallway, another outside, another in the GYM or a different hallway …

PS: This activity correlates with PE and the Music curriculum

This is a fun game that encourages students to do homework, and to develop positive study habits.

If we could turn the population of the earth into a small community of 100 people, keeping the same proportions we have today, it would be something like this:

Here is a great and a fun lesson which starts a (your) class in the New Year:

1. New Year’s Party (party hats, bubble wrap paper, streamers, etc.) (this should be a quick party)-
2. New Year’s Resolution – writing activity. (“What is your New Year’s Resolution” , “Who is going to help you remember it” , “How do you make sure your goal gets done?”)
   
3. Have students ‘act’ out their New Years Resolution. (Actors have to mime their Goal out – they cannot talk. The rest of the class has to guess his/her resolution. Actors can use any prop that they can find in the classroom)
4. Art: Mandelas (Draw a big circle on a paper, cut the circle out and fold it diagonally and horizontally)

You will get 4 spaces on the circle. In the first part have students illustrate their New Years Resolution. In the second/third part ask them to illustrate who is going to help them remember the New Years Resolution. In the last part have them illustrate how they will make sure their goal gets done. Here is the criteria:

• no white spaces / 5
• no pencil lines /5
• text and pictures (visual) / 5
• decorative borders / 5
• interesting + creative /5

Here are some pictures of the final outcome of the mandelas: (these were done by students in Grade 5)

Hello everybody,

Here is a new, super fun game that you can play with your students during PE class: the game is called Ants!

Here is how you play the game:All students (with the exception of two students) are ants. The other two students are ‘the terminators’ who would like to eliminate the ants. If one of the two students ‘tag’ one ‘ant’, the ant has to lay down on his/her back with the feet and hands up in the air waiting to be picked up to be carried to an ant hospital.

The way this is done is the following: four ants that are not being tagged have to approach the ant that is laying on the back. One has to lift up one arm, the other the other arm, the third the one leg and the forth the other leg. Once they are transporting the injured ant, they are immune of being tagged.

The gym can have two or more hospitals which can be circles already drawn on the ground (ie. Basketball circles…). Once the ant is in the hospital, the ant can get up and can run around again. This is great fun!

The students will really love this game One rule: The ‘first aid ants’ have to lift the ‘injured’ ant up, meaning they cannot drag the injured ant. If they do that, they all have to lay on their back…

Hello everybody, I have just added useful internet links to the ‘Cariboo Gold Rush’ on the student’s research site. Check it out if you can or if you want. Have fun

Hello all, I have found a great TOC/EOC/ classroom teacher resource that you can use in elementary classrooms.

Have fun with :K-5 Energizers

The Provincial Outreach Program for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (POPFASD)website is a useful resource for teachers and parents. The website offers easy-to-use general and specific eLearning modules on topics ranging from a straightforward explanation of FASD to the creation of individual education plans.

There are also a variety of teacher resources including links to seminars and training courses, conferences and catalogues of DVDs and print resources. Visitors to the site no longer need to log in or register to use the eLearning modules. http://www.fasdoutreach.ca/

Hello everybody,On the Links’ Site for Little Scholars, I have added a new section called “Cyberspace Awareness.” If you would like to address this topic with your class, I invite your students to check it out.

Have fun playing

Hello everybody,I know I have not written a post for a while … Well, to make up for it, I am going to post a ‘Weather Log’ for students. This allows them to keep track of weather and allows them to look for weather patterns. With that of course, they can try to predict the weather

Have fun with it – oh, please feel free to modify it as you wish

Cheers, Sven

Here are the lesson plans for my drama unit. So far I have just posted lessons on mime, but I will soon add lessons dealing about voice and improv. Have fun with them If you think you want to use them, by all means, don’t reinvent the wheel, but let me know how they turned out for you. – So far, my students (Grade 4) loved all of the lessons

“I care” is a song sung by Kindergarten and Grade 4 students for Mother’s Day. Even though the students only rehearsed it twice, they had fun with the singing, recording and designing (the CD cover) aspect of this mini project.

To listen to the song, press the play button (the red triangle) below. Enjoy
 

Hi folks,

I hope that you had a wonderful break and a great Easter. I was digging through my library, and I found another fun little chant song, that would be fun to do with the primary grades…

Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
knees and toes,
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
knees and toes,
Eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
knees and toes.

Sing this traditional movement song for little ones, but replace the body parts in English with body parts in other languages. For example, here are the body parts in Spanish:

cabeza (head)
hombros (shoulders)
rodillas (knees)
dedos (toes)
ojos (eyes)
oí dos (ears)
boca (mouth)
nariz (nose)

I don’t have the tune on saved anywhere on my computer … however, I found a great web-site that shows the actions and the movements

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
