Purpose: To quickly review skills taught or
to group students.
Flashlight tag directions
1.
Tape numbers, vocabulary words to the ceiling.
2.
Have enough flashlights for one per
team or person in a small group. You can
turn them into colored flashlights by cutting a piece of transparent binder
dividers into circles and taping it over the lenses of the flashlights or you
can leave them as is. The color helps to
keep track of which groups light is shining on which number
3.
Turn off the lights and call out a
math fact, word problem or definition to a vocabulary word and the teams have
to shine their light on the correct answer.
If you are playing with teams I have mine take turns shining the
light.
Sorry this next one didn't come out very clear!
Desk Tags
Coming from first grade I was so used to having the big bulky name
tags and when I got to fifth I loved not having name tags at first but then with
multiple sections of classes and having students keep their math supplies in
desks it was a huge headache when we would move the desk arrangement. I also needed a quick way to group students
in small groups away from their table groups.
So I came up with these more sophisticated 5th grade desk tags. All the shapes are different and so I can call "All the polygons line up". Or when I need my class divided into three groups to work a problem I say "Anyone who's tax I would need to pay to Wal-mart after I purchased a new binder come over to this area". Your imagination's the limit on this one.
