Here is a quick matching game that asks students to match a number with the correct quantity of items. This activity is in Lumio and intended to be played on a SMART interactive display but it is not required.

Here is an activity that asks students to select the correct number for each slide. This activity focuses on the pregame introduction of a basketball team which is manned by players 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. As they players are introduced students move the correct player from the sidelines to the court. This activity is in Lumio so it has interactive elements and is designed to be player on a SMART board but does not have to be. If you don’t have a SMART board try a wireless mouse.

Themed after the 1985 Arcade bombshell Gauntlet, I offer to you Gauntkit. If you have a pro Gimkit account you can play this with your students. Just plug in question sets for your content area.

Here is a digital interactive set of Elkonin boxes. All of the elements are set to clone infinitely.

This is made in Lumio, which is not my favorite program but it is what we have for SMART boards. My best advice for this and all Lumio activities is to make a new copy of it each time you use it in case you forget to undo every move before closing it. Or you may have to delete the elements you pulled from the lists. Also you could duplicate and delete the slides in your copy as much as you would like.

Here is an activity that asks students to write their name on a name tag for the bunny rabbit tea party. Yes, I know you are already thinking it, yes you should build a bunny rabbit tea party in your class the day you do this activity. Probably have everyone make bunny ears to wear and physical sticker name tags too. Then you would be a super teacher. Students may use their finger or stylus to write their name on a virtual name tag. This activity is designed to be completed on a smart interactive display panel.

Here is a simple addition activity which uses the numbers 0-5. Students must find math problems, and determine the answer they are looking for to find it in the memory match board. This activity is made in Lumio and would be enjoyed very well on a smart interactive display. It is also playable on most any other device.

Here is a sorting activity that asks students to sort the rimes between onsets wh or sh. This sorting game was put together in Lumio and would be best when played on an interactive smart display but will work on most other devices as well.

Here is an activity that asks students to sort zoo animals, count up the total number of animals in each enclosure, and match the correct number to the enclosure. This activity was assembled in Lumio. It is best experienced on a smart interactive display but is playable on nearly any device.

Here is a shopping with coins activity that asks students to drag and drop coins to make an item’s purchase amount. There are five items in this activity. It is made in Lumio and intended to be completed on an interactive smart board.

Here is a drag and drop activity made on the fabulous teachermade.com platform. In this activity students click and drag the graphic images to match them with the correct Spanish language term. This activity has four parts with 6 – 8 terms per part.

We are entering the final stretch of the 2024 Innovation Badge Campus Championship. Don’t forget that every badge you submitted this year is an entry to the drawing for a $200 gift card. One for an elementary teacher and one for a secondary teacher.

Godwin made a really strong push this time and nearly surpassed Clark to reach 3rd place. Unless Clark wakes up, Godwin should easily secure 3rd place in the last 6 weeks.
Mattei took no chances and definitely still has the biggest stack of badges that need to go out this week. Mayfield had some power earners this round as well pushing them closer to 400 badges.

8.7A Solve problems involving the volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres

In this activity your students will practice their skills of calculating volume to complete the tasks given to them by Mostly Mad Max the Mathematician. This activity was put together at Teachermade.com so your students can complete this online. Students select their answer choices and submit to have the activity automatically graded.

Here is a place value activity for your littles. This activity has students build a rocket to the specifications indicated by the place value of a 3 digit number. This activity is in Google Slides and can be completed on a Chromebook individually or as a teacher led class activity. It would even work fantastically on a SMART board.

Here is a digital break out for 1st or second graders. I made this one with the intention that it can be played by 1st or second graders independently with out being led by the teacher as a whole group.

The directions and questions are visual and require no reading skills. It is a quick 5 Time telling challenges to escape the haunted house and avoid the scary cat.

This activity is in Google Slides and is designed to be played while in present mode. As it is for “littles” it is on rails and easy to complete. It is not possible to get off the intended route.

Here is a list of all the Gimkit sets that I have made from teacher requests. You can save yourself a copy of any of these.

Here are links to the Custom Gimkit maps/modes I have made. You may attach any Gimkit question set you would like to any of the maps.

Your students will take on Abraham Lincoln in a game of 1 on 1 basketball in this story based digital escape room. Students answer math problems correctly to score points and advance through the story. This is “on rails” as it us designed for first graders. It should be easy for students to navigate individually while being led by the teacher (reading).

Here are a few screen shots

Here is a new Gimkit Set with analog clock faces for every hour at :00 and :30. This is a great activity for developing the skill and ability to instantly recognize those times. Click the image below for the link.

Even better news is that I made a special Gimkit map for your youngins that they should be very capable of enjoying. The enemies powers have been scaled down to make it “beginner mode”. Click the image below to link to this fully custom game. If this is too easy let me know and I can adjust it.  It should be a quick game which your class could play a couple rounds of in a session.

Here are some visual vocabulary activities for your Pre-K students.
This includes PowerPoint slide shows as an entire huge slide show or divided into smaller categorical groups.

There are also interactive Lumio activities which can be completed whole group or even should work out assigning individually in Google Classroom if you have computer lab or Chromebook access. Lumio lets you have 10 activities on a free account.

Click the Google Drive link below to access the PowerPoint slide shows.

These activities are broken down into groups of ten to 20 items so they should be quick experiences for your students. These might be good individual practice after going over a presentation as a group. They also stand well on their own.

	Super Sort Activity: Food vs TransportationStudents sort images into the two categories to play out a pirate ship battle.
	PK visual Vocab Monster Flash CardsTurn over the flash cards one at a time and SHOUT the visual vocabulary term.
	PK Visual Vocabulary Memory Matching GameHere is a memory matching game using a set of ten terms.
