I saw this game called ZAP on a couple of websites ...
here and
here and
here!
I decided to create my own ZAP board ... in preparation for review day.
At the end of the last semester I asked students for feedback on our class and our activities. One activity they said they liked was playing games to review for tests. BUT I was tired of the football and basketball games. So I started hunting for a new way to play!
I didn't have library pockets and didn't want to go out to buy them. So I used half size index cards and tape to create pockets. I found some old construction paper already cut into strips ... about 2 x 4 inches. I also found stickers that I had purchased over the summer. So ... it took just a few minutes to create pockets and cards. Then I wrote varying number of points on the cards along with a few silly actions, and the word, "ZAP."
We play on Friday! Maybe I'll have a great learning experience to report!
Oooh I love it. What silly things did you do?
