They have a bunch and they are all card or dice games...super easy to do in a classroom! <br /><br />Have a great day!<br /><br />Dawn<br /><a href="http://bushelofstudents.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow">Apples, Owls, and Peppermint Mochas</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712765734204602977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793056642033773919.post-40774090191837549102013-08-09T09:38:43.700-07:002013-08-09T09:38:43.700-07:00Hi Friend!

I love the card idea and the quick assessment data it provided.<br />I agree: Some parts of the first day fly by (I'm always overplanned) and some are sooooo slow. I have my kids start by assembling a jigsaw puzzle... It seems like it takes hours to get a few pieces put together!<br />Sending you back-to-school good luck wishes...<br /><br />Kim<br /> <a href="http://joyin6th.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Finding JOY in 6th Grade</a>Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596768050411395194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793056642033773919.post-30235206739259855512013-08-09T06:17:52.670-07:002013-08-09T06:17:52.670-07:00That's a great idea!

I know I will have a group of 6th grade students who are very chatty and think school is for socializing ONLY. I may use the card idea for a seating chart and then make them have to come up with some writing idea from their cards. I don't know yet, still thinking on it. Thanks for the great idea!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470544455268082788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793056642033773919.post-45360232030007899902013-08-09T05:01:15.523-07:002013-08-09T05:01:15.523-07:00Awesome idea!

They have a different state on each card. They are beautiful! Where I got them is a mystery:) And Target almost always has those flashcards with the states on them in their $1 section.
