This is a card game that can be used as a Friday cooldown activity, or it can be used as a classroom management tool! I have done both. In my classroom, we play this game on the last Friday of every month. As a classroom management tool, I would give students a power-up at the end of each week if they followed the classroom rules. Each character has three power-ups, so by the end each student could collect all three for the tournament at the end of the month. A lot of students have fun playing t

Have you ever wanted the chance to host your own quiz show? Well, now is your chance! You are given the chance to create a mini trivia game about your favorite person, place, event, etc, that we have covered so far in Social Studies. In this project, you will have to choose a topic and create a slideshow with 10 facts about your topic. You will need to rank those facts from least obvious to most obvious. You will also need to create a physical “clue” to show the class when you are finished. But

Things you will need to accomplish this. Either a Breakout EDU breakout box kit, or A bigger and smaller box that can be locked, a bluelight marker and flashlight, and five locks. (Lock and key, directional lock, 4 digit, 3 digit, 5 letter) This is a fun early indigenous people breakout box where students will test their knowledge of the three sisters, different groups based on location, all while trying to open the box and escape in a class period.

This is a fun way to motivate students to complete simple classroom tasks. How does it work? Well, you assign a classroom activity to a number on the list. You choose a creature for the class to challenge that day. It can have to do with what you are covering that day. Then, you can have students draw a picture of what they think that creature would look like. Then students can roll a 20 sided die to see what activity they will have to complete that day. You can also roll the die yourself, and
