I've been working on a few things for Behavior Management so I thought I'd join the party! Check out The Lesson Plan Diva to see others who have linked up! I've seen a lot of clip charts and stop lights in blog land and I have to say that I am not a fan. Don't get me wrong--I think they are pretty, easy to use, and a quick visual for the teacher at the end of the day when getting things ready to go home. BUT I strongly believe that kids should not be publicly embarrassed for their behavior. EVERYONE makes poor choices from time to time. Would you want the entire staff to know when you missed a deadline or made a mistake? I know this is not the intention, but it happens anyway. Instead I use a binder. I wish I had a photo to show but sadly it is locked up at school. In the binder is a chart with student numbers instead of names. When students make poor choices, they are asked to visit the behavior binder where they place a check mark next to their number. There is also a copy of our Quality Student they should quickly review. When sending students to the binder, I make sure to do it privately so the student is not embarrassed. Each Monday we discuss the previous week's data, celebrate if we made a goal, and make new goals for the coming week. The binder is also handy at conference time. As a class, we set goals for the number of checks we will try to stay under per week. Students also may have personal goals for how many checks they will have each week or grading period. Recently I found Homeworkopoly on Ladybug's Teacher Files and decided to teacher-lift it. She uses this for students who consistently complete their homework, but I decided to use it as a behavior incentive. ALOT of people have been posting about doing away with the prize/treasure box and this could work for that too. I included two "prize box" places on the board but you could easily replace them with something else. I am still working on the Chance cards and I also added a spot for "Student-written questions." My plan here is to have students write their own review questions for topics already covered. So my printer is running low on ink and the colors are a bit distorted but this is the basic idea. My plan is to post it on the chalk board and use pictures of the kids faces to make magnetic playing pieces. Students who made it the entire week without any checks in the behavior binder (or who met their personal behavior goal) will get to take a turn on the Behavioropoly Board. Check out Ladybug's Teacher Files to see how she runs the game. ***Update*** Due to a high volume of requests I am no longer sending out my template by email. You can go to my TPT store and download the files for free!
This boardgame is aimed for students studying conditional sentences. It's easily adaptable and can be used to practice any of the conditionals. The idea is that the students play in pairs or groups and they have to form a conditional sentence. E.g. "You can have any animal as a pet" -> "If I could have any animal as a pet, I would have a chimpanzee". The teacher can also tell them to form the sentences in the past (If I could have had any animal as a pet when I was a kid...). Obviously the board can be used to practice other things as well, such as verb tenses or vocabulary (e.g. "You can travel to any country" -> pairs list countries and choose the one they'd travel to) or the sentences can even be used as as conversation topics. - ESL worksheets

Do your students struggle with key signatures? Do they fly through their scale patterns, but have a hard time naming the notes they are playing? Do you need a fun way to reinforce their scale and key signature knowledge? This fun musical board game drills key signatures, scales, fingering, chords, and arpeggios in all major keys.I noticed this spring that while my students could play their scales with ease, they struggled with verbalizing the pattern or connecting scales to the key signatures in their pieces. Dragon Scales helps students use all the major learning styles as they play, teach, verbalize, and draw scales and key signatures, all while playing an engaging board game. The board is open ended, allowing you to mix and match the perfect level of cards for your student, whether you need to review one scale or the whole circle of fifths! Click on the preview button above to see the questions in more detail. This game has a been a major success in my studio! My students have been begging to play it again and again! Game Instructions: Set the board game in front of your students and then sort the dragon cards by color. Place the stack of cards next to their matching dragon (i.e. blue cards by the blue dragon, red cards by the red dragon etc.) The players pick a game token and place them on a dragon of their choice to start. The players do not have to start on the same dragon, but can be spread throughout the board. To play, the player rolls the dice and moves that many spaces. If they land on a dragon egg, they pick up the matching dragon card (i.e. blue egg, pick up a blue dragon card). They answer the question, and then the card belongs to them. If they land on a dragon, they can steal a dragon card of their choice from another player. The goal is to collect all six dragons. The first one to get a dragon of every color wins the game! ♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩♩ Want three ways to save some money? 1) Leave feedback!

Aquí os dejo la foto del juego de las estrellas. Se trata de un juego para enriquecer el vocabulario y trabajar la articulación, este concretamente está encaminado a la articulación del grupo consonántico de /r/: /tr-/. Tengo una plantilla vacía en un folio de A3, en ella voy pegando gomet e imágenes que contengan un determinado fonema y así voy confeccionando un juego con cada una de las letras o centro de interés que quiero trabajar con los niños. Las reglas de juego, son sencillas, muy similares a las del juego de mesa "El juego de la oca" y suelen variar de un juego a otro; sale el jugador que al tirar el dado haya conseguido el número más algo, despues vamos contando y deberá nombrar el dibujo en el que asienta la ficha, en caso de ser la estrella, dirá "de estrella a estrella y tiro porque es bella", si caes en la casilla de la cara triste deberá volver a empezar el juego, si caes en el escalador, subes a las casillas de la fila superior y si caes en el trampolin tendrás que bajar a la casilla de la fila inferior.
