Earth Day Contractions Digital Resource Google Game Self Checking Activity Deal Me In

Introducing an engaging and self-checking contractions game or activity for your third grade classroom – "Deal Me In"!

In this interactive game, students not only answer questions but also put their luck to the test alongside demonstrating their content skills. The game utilizes a standard fifty-four card deck, including Jokers, where each correct response is rewarded with a random card. Each card holds a specific point value based on its face or number.

The excitement builds as students compete with each other, striving to accumulate the highest point total by the end of the activity. "Deal Me In" offers flexibility for group play, pairs, or even as a whole class competition.

The user-friendly format requires students to input their answers directly into designated cells. Instant feedback is provided – correct responses receive immediate acknowledgment. On the other hand, incorrect answers prompt a visual cue, turning red to signal students to revisit and revise their response or seek guidance from the instructor.

To enhance the learning experience, students can access a word bank by scrolling to the right, offering additional support for their responses.

Importantly, no prior knowledge of Google Sheets is needed for both students and teachers to fully enjoy this activity.

For optimal use, each student receives a copy of the resource to prevent accidental editing of the original document.
