Smash It!
Description
Welcome to 💥Smash It!💥 Would you like a hands-on tour 👀 before you purchase? Contact me, Allison Winzurk, on Messenger and set up a time to tour and ask questions! 📚Emergent readers and lower-level ESL students will love practicing short-vowel and long-vowel/silent-e words with fantastic games, trapdoors, staircases, a hidden tunnel, as well as an opportunity to build their own creative maze in the playground that you can use as a simple evaluative tool. 🧑🏻‍🏫Introduce all of the vocabulary that will be used in this playground already prepared and included among the whiteboards. 🏆Once inside the classroom, you can play an old favorite, BINGO, using short-vowel words that match vocabulary images. Students will love the prize chest with objects included, as well as enough room for you to add prizes tailored to your students’ interests. ❌For more short vowel practice, the next game takes everyone up stairs and encourages students to match the words and pictures with the correct short vowel. Be sure to set your student on the red “X” in the center when everything’s complete, as there’s a hidden trapdoor that drops them into the next classroom. 🎲A student favorite is the dice game that allows students to create and read their own words - real or nonsense! - while following the rules for the vowels, consonants and a variety of digraphs and blends. When leaving this area, look for the hidden tunnel to return to the main playground area. 💝The heart of this playground is, Smash It! This game allows students to smash blocks and find surprises as a reward for completing each section. Students will choose one of four paths, complete vocabulary and spelling puzzles while using a vast assortment of reaction props and action zones. Some props open to the next puzzle, others give steps to completing a code. When the student completes the last question for each path, they are dropped through the trapdoor into the Smash It! block build and are given a specific number of blocks to destroy while looking for their 2D and 3D surprises. 🧱Finally, the fourth area allows creativity to flow as the students build their own evaluative tool. The basis for a maze is included with set areas for action zones. For each zone the student writes their own multiple-choice question that demonstrates they’ve accomplished your objectives. Students also enjoy choosing reaction props and block styles to complete their project. They’ll love this structured build and you’ll get to see what they’ve learned. Let me know what you think! I love feedback! Find me in the Koala FB group as Allison Winzurk.
