This review is from: 101 Fresh & Fun Critical-Thinking Activities (Grades 1-3) (Paperback)

This book gave my students (2nd graders) and me an awesome timeevery Friday during our Fun Day Brain-storming time. The thinkingactivities in the book not only help student to think more aboutthings around them but help them imporve thier communication skill. I use the activities in the book for a game, and ask students to come to the front to explain why the answer goes like that. We had fun and learned at the same time! This book is highly recommanded to teachers who need some mini activities for fun day or for a change of your teaching content!
