I was trying to think of a new way to review in my classroom when a light bulb hit me! I have completely been drawn into the mustache craze and so have my students. The fake mustaches are always the first to go in my treasure box.
I decided to devise a game that would separate the class into teams and as they answered the questions correctly, their mustache grows! Here's a little snapshot.
First page |
Each number has a link to another page with a question on it (see below). After the team gets their question right, the mustache gets "shaved" off into the trashcan and the bushier, more robust mustache is applied. I put the X on each page after we were done because I kept forgetting what question we had already done!
You click the wee little friend in the corner to send you back to the main mustache page.
The kids loved it and so did I! I got into the spirit as well and sported a fake mustache as well. Didn't get a picture, but you can tell it went a little something like this...
I have no idea where to even begin to embed a smart notebook file so if you want the game, leave a comment with your email and I will send it to you! All you need is a smart board and some mustache needs!
You change the game to anything that suits your needs. All you have to do is change the questions on the slides.
I know a lot of you have started testing already and I hope everything is going smoothly for you all ~ good luck to all the testers this week!
