I'm am ashamed to say that I haven't participated in Monday Made it in WAAAY too long! Guess that just says how my school year has rolled! Let's not even look at when I am linking up. Umm....not Monday, but maybe you can whip it together by Monday!
Have your kids ever played Kaboom? Maybe you call it Bang! No?
It's a super quick game, great practice for any skill. Sight words, facts practice, you name it.
I've seen it played with facts written on popsicle sticks. Here's the game:
- Pull a stick
- Answer correctly (whatever you are practicing)...Keep your stick
- Miss it...return the stick
- Keep taking turns until......
- Someone draws a KABOOM! All the player's sticks go back in the cup
- Winner is the player with the most sticks at the end of playing time.
So, here's how I put together a quick game for my classroom! I whipped it together in one afternoon! Writing on popsicle sticks drives me BATTY, so I decided to whip together my own version.
After creating a template on powerpoint, I printed the strips on my printer. The paper is pretty sturdy, but you know that I laminated it, too, right??? Duh...I'm a teacher!
Next, I cut them up and put them in baggies until I was ready to use them in my classroom. I searched and searched for cups to glue my cute labels, but they all bent kind of funny. Hmmm...why am I OCD about silly things like that? It's not just me, right? Anyway, as I strolled around Dollar Tree, I was reminded of how I did my December centers! Gift bags are Perfect! Super easy to story later, too.
Finally, I decided to make to answer keys to throw in the bags. BAM!
Quick and easy centers for my kidlets to practice the Multiplication Facts!
Hope you like my version of KABOOM! and try it in your classroom!

ReplyDeleteAre you going to share your multiplication list and circle Kaboom labels?
ReplyDeleteI have a very basic version in my store for FREE right now, but my cutesy version isn't quite TPT ready. I kinda made it for me. If you think you might like the free one, got here: http://goo.gl/vfcJNS
ReplyDeleteIf you follow my store, I'll try to get this one up this week for you--you'll be notified right away via the daily TPT email!
Glad you like the idea!
Is your scrapbook paper white on one side and printed on the other?
