Do you lose valuable teaching time trying to group students in your classroom? Well, that was the case several times a day in my classroom. Some years the students can transition more seamlessly than others, however this year has been a challenge! I needed something easy, fast, and engaging! That is when "Group Like a CHAMP" was born! Simply give each student a card and have them put it in a safe place like a folder or on top of desk with contact paper. When you need to place students in 2, 3, or 4 groups, you will call out a symbol that is on their card. For example, I was working on math stations and needed 3 different groups. I called out Fruit Groups - watermelon, grapes, and oranges. Students look on their card, see what fruit is on there, and walk quietly to the correct station. The transition took 10 SECONDS!! Yes, 10 SECONDS!! Group Like a CHAMP Link On top of that, the students LOVED it! They couldn't wait to be put into groups again to see who they were going to be with. Group Like a CHAMP Link Every student card is numbered - student 1, student 2, student 3, etc. There is also teacher reference card, so you know can quickly call out what you are wanting. You want more good news? There are 3 different options for each grouping of 2, 3, or 4 groups! Enjoy this resource 50% off the next 2 days!
