Looking for an engaging back-to-school activity for the first day of Geometry class? This interactive game is like Geometry Pictionary but will have your students talking about and visualizing geometric concepts while fostering a deeper understanding of each other's thinking. With a deck of 64 geometric figures of varying difficulty, one student describes a figure while the other recreates it based on the verbal cues. Take it up a notch by turning it into a contest, where the pair with the most accurate replica wins! Here's a video with some fun results from students. Idea: Consider revisiting this activity at the end of the year for a fun, yet insightful, reflection. Students will be amazed at how much Geometry vocabulary and knowledge they have acquired, making it a wonderful way to celebrate their growth throughout the year. So, whether you're looking for an icebreaker or a year-end review, this Geometry Doodle Challenge is the ideal choice to promote teamwork, creativity, and geometric proficiency among your students. WARNING: This activity requires some preparation, as it involves cutting out the cards. I recommend allocating time for this step before conducting the activity with your students. I also recommend printing on thick paper or pasting onto cardstock so that students cannot see through the paper. NOTE: I understand that different teaching styles may may benefit from variations in the figures. I value your feedback and encourage you to share any additional figures that might help your students. Your input is highly appreciated, and I am committed to continuously improving my resources. Please send me an email at [email protected] with any suggestions. Together let's create an optimal learning experience! Did you enjoy this resource? Please consider leaving a review!
