101 ways to energize any ho-hum day

Created by award-winning educators, these easy-to-learn, giggle-as-you-go games are designed to be both fun and educational. These activities in reading, logic, science, measuring, listening, social studies, and math are the perfect complement to your K-5 curriculum.

Get the fun and the learning started with games such as:

Bug Bite: Players flip over vocabulary word cards and slap the table when a bug card comes up. Whoever slaps first reads all the words and then keeps the card. The child with the most cards wins!

Bull's-Eye Feather Math: Children blow feathers around a bull's-eye game board with straws as they sharpen their multiplication skills.

Geography Baseball: Players find map locations that are “pitched” to them. The more “hits” they get, the faster they score runs.

Fishy Facts: Players snag paper fish with a fishing pole and hook. If they can answer the question on the side of the fish, they score.

. . . and many more!

BONUS: Games are ranked for noise levels!

While this book was written for teachers of younger students, I have used some of these games for my adult education classroom. The games can easily convert to almost any subject matter. I'm always looking for new ideas that this book really helps.
