Give your students a fun way to review the water cycle with this themed file folder game, A Day at the Beach. Your students will love the break from routine, and you'll love students' improved recall of science concepts and the preparation for standardized testing.
Students answer question cards about the water cycle to take turns around the board. "Dive In!" cards offer twists to the game, such as losing a turn or jumping ahead.
Science concepts and vocabulary included: order of the water cycle, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, transpiration, states of water, melting, freezing, types of precipitation, freezing and boiling points in Fahrenheit and Celsius, heat transfer, molecules, rain gauge, collection, ground water, Earth's water, hydrologic cycle, and cloud formation.
The game includes a cover, teacher and student directions, a 2-page game board, 60 question cards, and 15 Dive In! cards, all pieces full-color. The cards are also included in a separate, editable Microsoft Publisher file and a PDF file of blank cards if you would like to change them or create your own questions. Please note that the PDF file is an editable form. You will be able to type your own questions on blank cards. You can edit the text of my questions in the Publisher file, but you must have Microsoft Publisher to do so. Either way, you have the full game in PDF form whether you choose to use the customizable cards or not. You can also customize the game to your curriculum by removing cards that are not relevant to what you teach.
Simply assemble the game and you will have a great activity for individuals, small groups, or for centers. Since it is a digital file, you can make as many as you like for one classroom. You can even make enough copies for the whole class to play at once!
If you like the activity, please leave feedback and check out my other products. I have many file folder games in my catalog, including a game to review your space and solar system unit called Space Adventure. Keep up with all of my latest creations by following me on Teachers Pay Teachers or becoming a fan of my store, Smarty Pants Teaching Resources, on Facebook!
Please do not copy this activity for another teacher, an entire grade level, or a school. If your colleagues like the activity, please send them to Teachers Pay Teachers!
Thank You!

10/15/2012 - So sorry! Somehow I seem to have posted only part of the file. I'll correct this within the next couple of days and send an alert. Sorry again. -Anna
10/17/2012 - This has now been fixed. I apologize again for the error. If you re-download you will now get a ZIP file containing the PDF of the entire game, a PDF form of blank cards that you can type on to create your own, and a Publisher file of the cards that you can use to edit my questions or create your own. Please note that you would need Microsoft Publisher to work with the Publisher file; however, the full game is included in the PDF, so Publisher is not needed to use the original form of the game.

I put this game into a center for my students to play. Everyday when they come in, they want to know if they are going to get to go to that center!

Used this to supplement a water unit I was teaching in my summer camp class. The students enjoyed the game and it reinforced many of the things we had learned about. Great cumulative activity!

The way the game is set up it doesn't have to be any certain number, but for management purposes and keeping them engaged I would keep it to 4 or so per board. Remember you can print and assemble as many as you'd like.
