(new product) 169 US History Flash Cards (large print) plus 169 Roll Cards, a new card game I created. Students love these! Roll Cards are used like playing cards. Each player holds these cards in their hand, fanned out so that their opponent can see the term at the top of the cards. The opponent then rolls one die and then proceeds to select a card in his opponent’s hand (not taking it). Once they select the card and gives the definition of the term that was facing him (the definition is facin

Additional biographical information
My children's book series called "Randy Bamboo" was originally set to be named after my brother Jason. But "Jason Bamboo" wasn't quite as catchy.
My original lessons include...
1. Bamboo Air -- The assignment turns into a paper airplane.
2. Big Eye Math -- The student manipulates the assignment around as they work problems and record their answers on a flip-up feature.
3. Comic Reader Series - 4 panel cartoons with handy flip-up/down comprehension questions.
4. Daily Test Prep - Comprehension questions similar to those on the standardized tests.
5. Roll Cards (Social Studies so far) Students hold modified flashcards in their hand like they are playing cards and take turns guessing definitions until you have a winner.
I have written several educational cartoons at randybamboo on youtube (go to oldest videos) and have written quite a few other songs on spotify and other platforms under randy bamboo. I have a 35 acre bamboo farm and enjoy building furniture with the canes. You can see some pictures on tiktok or instagram under randybamboo.
