We played another new game this week in Math. We are working on some count-ons. We spread out around the outside of the room. We talked about clockwise and counterclockwise directions.
On the board, we wrote the count-ons. Then we chanted the count-ons until we reached the ten of the count-on (for threes, that would be thirty). We were trying to figure out who was the one left standing. I've played this game for over twenty years, and I am always amazed at how excited students are to play. They jump and and shake in anticipation. It was so fun to hear their laughter, and even though the masks covered their smiles, their eyes sparkled brighter than sparklers on a warm summer night.
When it was all over, and we were lining up for Recess, students wanted to be reassured we would play it again. Can't wait for the next time our learning sparkles bright!
