As the new school year approaches, I begin thinking about ways to develop that all-important classroom community that is a first step to enjoying a successful year together. During the first week of school, I like to have my students participate in a variety of games and activities designed to help students get to know each other better.
Although this game has appeared before on my blog, I have updated it a bit and uploaded it again here. In this version, I have included a spinner, but I prefer to have my students play this game with colored dot dice (Someday I'd love to post about the variety of different activities we enjoy in our classroom that use these cute little dice!) Either way, you simply need something to choose colors and something to choose numbers.
If you click on the game board above or the cover below, it will take you to TpT, where you can downlaod this product for free!
What a fantastic game, Kim ;) Thanks so much for sharing!!!

You're welcome, dear Elizabeth:
DeleteI am hoping it is something you can use!
Kim
Oh thank you Kim!!! This is excellent! I love the questions you made!
ReplyDeleteHi Sweet Kristen:
DeleteI've been lucky that the questions have made for easy discussion. In the beginning of the school year, sixth graders are often reluctant to talk to each other in groups... unless, of course, you ask them to do "Quiet" Reading : )
Kim
these questions are awesome!

ReplyDeleteHi Lana:
DeleteI'm so glad you stopped by. And I hope you can use the game in your classroom too!
Kim
Love, love, love!! Thank goodness for creative bloggers like YOU! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I started teaching 6th grade 2 years ago I just "assumed" they would know how to work in groups and discuss, especially since we are such a small school. WRONG!
This will help get them ready to discuss in groups like they will be doing all year. Thanks so so so so so much!!!

Thanks for the free download. I always change my back to school activities each year, so I'm thrilled to add this to my collection. I love the colored dice idea...so smart!

I'm a pre-service teacher doing some work with a new class this week. I really needed a get-to-know-you game that would work for me and this is perfect! Thanks so much!
