I have a few games and activities in my classroom that I reserve for inside recess, but there are only so many times you can play Sorry, or Heads Up, Seven Up, or with Matchbox cars before you slowly go insane. I don't think I've ever had so many disagreements about such petty things in my classroom than I've had this week. If anyone has any suggestions for activities that are fairly quiet and easy to do, please leave a comment and let me know!
In other news, I've finished the I Know Idioms Like the Back of My Hand class book that I've been working on, and uploaded it to Teachers Pay Teachers. I love working with the munchkins on any kind of figurative language, and I think idioms are my favorite. It always makes me laugh when they act out having ants in their pants or running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
This class book was created so that each student can take one idiom, write the figurative meaning (the meaning behind the words), and illustrate the literal meaning (what the words actually say). I ALWAYS get great results and really cute pictures from this activity, and the class book makes a GREAT classroom resource! Pin It Now!
