Your class has been turned into robots! Can they solve all the puzzles and become human again before the day ends? Students must find all the missing parts to the robot who has the ability to help them with this journey. As students complete each puzzle, they are to color the coordinating robot part they find. This is a fun game where students are getting to know each other. They will be tasked with, “Find someone who…” questions. For example, students will find a classmate who can play a musical instrument, likes to eat cake, has a sister, likes to ride their bike, and so much more! When the robot is completely colored, they will be just about finished with the game. Once the robot is complete, they will be asked to find the robot's heart. The heart will be hidden in the classroom.
