This is a Koosh Ball Game for students that do not have good aim when throwing a koosh ball at the SMARTBoard. Every inch of the SMARTBoard is covered with leaves linked to a question page. There are 20 template question pages linked to the home page. No more saying, "Give it one more try to hit an leaf."
The Koosh Ball Game can be used to teach any subject you wish math, reading, science, etc. The teacher just needs to double click the writing in the square and type in a question. I would then lock the question so it cannot be changed or moved by the student.
The student will throw a koosh ball at the SMARTBoard, answers the question and then touch leaves at the bottom right corner. (They are linked back to the home page.) The next student will then take their turn.
My First Graders adore any Koosh Ball Game we play using the SMARTBoard.
Sorry you had trouble. What kind of ball did you use? You must use a soft squishy kind of Koosh ball. I would be happy to send you a picture of all my Koosh balls that work in my classroom. My email is cssmartietech@gmail.com
I change this up every week to correspond to our spelling words. Kids LOVE it and it only takes me a few minutes every Monday morning to update it. Great job!
I'm sorry it is not working for you.
Here are a couple of tips.
Use a soft squishy Koosh Ball.
Toss the ball underhanded in a soft throw.
Don't slam the ball on the SMARTBoard.

I can not get it to open. Which program is required? I have ActiveInspire and Office available . . . . neither of them work.
I'm sorry but as stated under the thumb nials of this lesson this is a Notebook (SMARTBoard Lesson). You must have Notebook to open this lesson. I'm sure if you go to the bottom of this screen and click on Contact Us TPT will refund your money. Just explain to them that you do not have Notebook and can not open the lesson.
Not all my lessons are for SMARTBoard (Notebook). I do offer some of my lessons in Power Point. However for this lesson you have to have a SMARTBoard.
TPT is quick to respond to request. Once again I'm soory but you do not have the correct progame to run this lesson.
I purchased your Fall leaves smartboard activity today but it will not open up in notebook. Ive tried it several times; however it says to save it in version 9. I have notebook 10 which I believe is the newest one out. Any suggestions?
Did you get it working? I did not hear back from you and I want to make sure it downloaded correctly.

Hi,
Sorry for your trouble. I'm able to open the file here at home. However I can not get into the site at this time. They have it shut down to sellers so buyers can download. I'm not sure why it is saying that. It was made on Notebook 10.6 but like you I have Notebook 11. Would you mind looking at the file to make sure the end says .notebook sometimes the file can chage to .zip If that happened all you have to do is change it back to .notebook. If that does not work let me know by emailing me at cssmartietech.gmail.com and I will send it to you through email.
