Get Away Guessing Game

We changed things up this year and only played this guessing game twice during the week instead of every day. The students had to answer a question about a character who travels in a book, a book title where a character had to travel, or a place where the character lived or traveled to. 

Get Crafty:

Students were provided with paper strips cut from map wrapping paper. They followed the directions to make a woven bracelet or a woven bookmark. This activity involved some dexterity, and they collaborated with each other as they tried to figure out the next step in the creative
process. 

Guess the Number of Earth covered chocolates in the Jar Game
