Do you want a great game for Word Work in your classroom?
A game I love to have is Boggle Jr. Anytime I go to a garage sale or a Goodwill it is the first thing I look for, I can't pass up the game! I like the picture cards that come with the game, they have a picture and word on each side. I try to stay away from the Boggle Jr games that have the tray with the built in clock, it's a distraction! The kiddos spend more time winding the timer than playing the game. We don't play it according to the directions. I give it a name like
Word Work Boggle Jr. or _____ Word Contest
Contests are very motivating! I have material list and directions on how to play .
Materials needed for each kiddo
A Boggle tray
Word sheet
Picture cards
letter cubes
How to play the game:
The kiddo picks a picture card and sets it on the Boggle Tray.
Next finds letter cubes to spell the word on the tray.
Once the word has been spelled, the kiddo must show a buddy at the table, that the card word matches the cubes.
If it's correct, the kiddo can write the word on the Boggle sheet.
Winning the Game
I have many options!
Single game-I have a certain number of words that must be written on the Boggle sheet.
Team Game-A table group must have a certain number of words written before the time is up.
Class Game-Set a goal for the amount of words to be written for the whole classroom.
Of course if you win there is always some type of reward!
