1st Grade Language Arts Review | End of the Year | KNOCKOUT | Distance Learning

This quick-paced, nail-biter of a 1st grade end of the year language arts review game will leave your kids BEGGING for more! Team up to knock out the other team's players. The last team standing wins! This is by far the most engaging thing I've done for my classroom. My kids get SO excited when we play, and they work super hard all week practicing their skills just so they can improve their Knockout™ game!

Distance learning? No problem! Students can play this game at home using a computer as the whiteboard. Options for at-home game play:

1. Go head to head with a family member using a computer screen instead of a whiteboard. Instead of losing team members, start with 20 cubes or tokens for each player.

Wrong answer=one cube taken away

Knockout=one cube taken away

Pick a Pal=put one cube back in your pile

Free pass=nothing happens

2. Print the slides at home and place them in a facedown pile. Student sits next to a family member. Each player starts with 20 cubes or tokens. Flip the top paper over to reveal the "slide."

Wrong answer=one cube taken away

Knockout=one cube taken away

Pick a Pal=put one cube back in your pile

Free pass=nothing happens

3. You can present the slides to students as an assignment. They can simply write the answers in digital form using the format of your choice or in a notebook.

Not only is this GREAT for reviewing language arts skills, but it builds character as it emphasizes teamwork and good sportsmanship.

A quick look at Knockout™ & how it is played:

oDivide your class into 2 single file lines

oDisplay the first slide

oThe player at the front of his/her line faces off against the player from the other team: the first player to answer his/her question correctly wins and returns to the end of the line.

oThe player who does not win goes to sit on the team "bench" to cheer on the team!

BUT WAIT: That's not all.

If a player faces these slides, the following could happen:

oDouble Free Pass: Both players automatically get to stay in the game!

oDouble Knockout™: Both players are automatically out!

oKnockout™/Free Pass: One player goes, one stays!

oPick a Pal: Choose a player from the bench to return to the game!

oKnockout™/Pick a Pal: One player goes, the other chooses a friend to return!

The team with players standing at the end of the game wins. In our classroom, we like to keep teams the same for a week or two and keep a running score as a Knockout™ "tournament." Check out these free Knockout scoreboards HERE
