Kids can study and have fun at the same time. December's science homework was to create a game or develop a comic strip. The game required students to design a game board using the topic of their science studies. 5th grade was reasons for the seasons and 6th was energy. They also had to write directions and design any tokens. I provided the task cards and game board templates. I did not want kids stripping their home game boards of dice so I assured them we have plenty at school. Pictured here are a selection of games. In the future I would like to give guidance on enhancing with graphics. I could also provide some clip art. We have had two game playing sessions in class. I organized them (lots of parts need bags and frog clips) and have a special shelf for them. We look forward to future game playing.....and hope for some learning too!
