Minute to Win It and Show What You Know Throw!

       

Minute to Win It!
I saw a similar idea on Pinterest but it only contained 4 lines and the sheet needed to be laminated or put in page protectors, and dry erase markers and erasers were needed.
LOVED the idea!!
I wanted a simpler version, so I created this to share! Now all I need is copies! Practice any skill, whole class (in groups of 4)  using the Minute to Win It recording sheet!
All you need is the reproducible, a timer and a writing utensil for each student.
This game has become a favorite, along with my newest product, Show What You Know Throw!

 Here we played using our word wall words of the week.

The students had one minute to each write the given

word wall word in their numbered box.  We played 5 times

using our 5 new words.  A point was given to the team that

finished first. The team with the most points, won.

The next day we used the back and played a math 

version. Students searched the room for something

shorter than/longer than an item I showed.

They had 1 minute to complete each 4 square box as

a group. They had to each find something different and

write it in their numbered square before the minute

was up to earn a point for their team.

I created this next product to add some

FUN to common core review. 

There are ELA and Math sheets.

Students fill in one box and crumple the paper. 

 On my signal, they throw it into the air,

pick up another and fill in the next box.

Again on my signal, they throw and get

another paper.  This has been a huge hit!

They ask to play it every day!

I think besides getting to crumple and 

throw paper, (you should have seen their 

faces the first time I told them to 

crumple up their paper...PRICELESS!), 

their favorite part is looking to see

whose paper they got! 

Of course, there are rules to follow.

No throwing at students, no working

ahead, etc. Students who do not follow

the rules, have to sit down and fill out

the sheet on their own.

*ALSO, have the students gently

crumple (I demonstrated this). The first

time we played they really smooshed the

paper and it became hard to write on it

and the papers tore!

Students had to write a different word 

wall word in each square. No repeats!
