I found this idea on Pintrest (see my "I tried it and they loved it" board). There are many GREAT things about this activity:
- It can be used to review any number of topics (phonics sounds, sight words, opposites, etc)
- It uses simple materials
- It is different than any other review activity I do!
- 1 fly swatter for each student
- larger sheets of paper/construction paper
Today we tried the clocks for the first time!! Each child received a fly swatter and a paper. First, I let them all practice swatting the clocks at random so they could get some curious energy out right away. Then, when I called out the time they had to look at their paper and if they have the correct clock, SWAT it!
| The whole class. |
| They helped each other. |
This activity was a little chaotic at times but it certainly was a new way for my students to show what they know!
