Review Game

Last week we had a particularly hard week of schooling. So in order to lighten things up and have a little fun, I decided to make Friday a fun review day and created this game.  

 Each colored piece of foam had a 3x5 card on it that had a topic or question on it.  The kids would roll the die and move forward to the number of spaces indicated and then read the card. 

 If the card said, "Math ?" I would ask them a question that pertained to the Math lessons that they covered in their work over the last week. If they got the answer correct, then could roll again.

We covered all our subjects...some questions were on Money, some from the books they read, some covered Time, some from our Bible lessons, others require them to Spell or write a word in cursive on a dry erase tablet.  I sat comfy on the couch with all these manipulatives and just called out questions, while they did all the hard work to answer them. 

 It was a great way for me to see what they were retaining and what we might need to spend some extra time on in the days ahead. 

It was still school work, but over all I think it was a welcome change and a hit with the kids.
