One of my favorite aspects of Classical Conversations is that families can tailor the spine of the Foundations memory work to suit their style! History and literature matchup lists are abundant, but science matchups are a bit more difficult to find, so we thought we would do the work for you! (Speaking of work done […]

I have seen so many great ideas for review games out there. I thought I would compile a list of my favorites to have as a resource. I figure if I could come up with 6 great games that work, I only have to use the same game 4 times in a year! 1. Zap! - This is my favorite game so far simply because the smartest group doesn't always win. It's kind of like Jeopardy, but with a curve ball - if you get the "Zapped" card, you lose all your points! Thanks for sharing, Mathtastrophe! Game instructions and printable here. Another take on this game is Bazinga by Simplifying Radicals. 2. Nerf Gun - Love this idea! Draw a bullseye on the board. Divide the kids into teams. Ask a team a review question. If they get the answer correct, they get to shoot at the board to see how many points they earn. So fun! 3. Jenga - I really like how Living Out His Love blog does this one. She writes with a sharpie marker directly onto the Jenga piece. And, she write a subject and week on both sides of each piece. Though, if done this way, it seems like you could only do this at the end of the semester (because if you have Sciene, week 7 written in sharpie and you're only at week 3, that wouldn't work!). Another idea is to tape the subject and week with clear packing tape and then re-do it as your progress along in the year. 4. Power Tower - Similar to Jenga, but with paper cups. Write the question on the cup. If the class answers correctly, they get to stack the cups. If the tower falls, they have to start over. via Mrs. Lewis' Learning Library 5. Mr Potato Head - For every question the class gets correct, they get to add a body part to Mr. Potato. I also like the idea on 2nd Grade Rocks! blog. She uses it as a behavior incentive. Every time the class has good behavior, they get to add a body part. When Mr. Potato is completely put together, they get to have an ice cream party! 6. Snowball Fight - Love this idea for Texas as this may be the only snow the children ever see. Write the review questions on a piece of paper. Divide the kids into 2 teams. If the kids get it correct, they get to crumble it up into a ball. After all the questions have been answered, they get to have a snowball fight using the paper balls! 7. Chair Tic-Tac-Toe - Put nine chairs in 3 rows of 3 to make a square. Divide the class into 2 teams. Ask a team a question. If they get it correctly, one of their players gets to sit in one of the chairs. The first team to have 3 players sitting in a row wins. 8. Memory Mogul - Awesome (and free!) printable game from Sola Gratia Mom blog. This one seems like it could take some time printing out the cards and possibly creating a game board. But, the game board and cards could last all year. Click here for instructions and printables. 9. Stinky Feet - My 7 year old son would love this one. Very simple with little prep time. Idea and instructions can be found here at Teaching in the Fast Lane blog. 10. Classroom Board Game - This game may require a little adapting, but it looks like fun. Turn the classroom into a life size game board. Great ideas for how to do this game here at Blessings for Bible School Teachers.
{Blank sheet} {Fill-in-the-blank sheet} (Here is the same spiel from last week, in case you came right to this post from elsewhere. :) . . . . . I'm putting together review sheets to help my girls with their memory work for Classical Conversations. I put these in page protectors and let them go at it with a dry erase marker. I use them with both girls (2nd/4th) and they are written on every day. (The page protector helps me on my paper usage.) I will have them look up the information and copy it in on the "help" sheet the first couple of days. The two days before CC, I give them the blank one and they fill it in. This lets me know if there is anything we need to work on before proofing. If you want a copy, you should just be able to click and save??? Let me know if there are problems. Hope this helps you too! Oh...the answers are in your foundations guide! ;) (Don't want to mess with copy write issues!)

Link to PDF Here is the first of my Fill-in-the-Blank sheet. This is just Week 1 for Cycle 2, but the rest will be coming and I will post the whole file (when done) under Cycle 2 resources. At home, I use these the first couple days after CC and will use all week for my 1st grader this year. Put them in page protectors and let the kids go at them with a dry erase marker. The page protector helps me on my paper usage, since they fill them out a more than once. I will have them look up the information and copy it in the first couple of days. The two days before CC, I have them fill in the blank sheet with what they know. This lets me know if there is anything we need to work on before proofing. If you want a copy, you should just be able to click the "link to PDF" and save. You can also save the JPEG, but will have to make sure your printer settings are set to letter paper. Let me know if there are problems. Hope this helps you too! Oh...the answers are in your foundations guide! ;) (Don't want to mess with copy write issues!)
For a couple of years, our family used the Prescripts series for penmanship and drawing practice. However, as one of our children progressed from Book 1: Introduction to Cursive Writing & Tracing to Book 2: Writing Cursive Words and Practicing Drawing Skills, we encountered quite a setback. There was such a huge leap from one book to the […]
