Student Game Day Lesson Plan

Summer is around the corner.  Our kids are going crazy, anxiously waiting for the last day of school.  Administration tells us we need to keep teaching.  What do we do?  I've come up with a great activity for having fun with a purpose. This is an educational activity the will surely keep your kids engaged at this time of the year.


The student Game Day Lesson Plan is an extremely fun and interactive way for your  students to review stories they have read in your class throughout the year.  It is written so that you can use any story, novel, or play you have taught throughout the year.  Students will have the opportunity to plan, design, create, use a rubric to review their own work and PLAY!  Not only will the kids love it, but you will be able to teach your kids to use a rubric and get a grade from the entire process.

The rubric is written in a clear and concise way.  Students will easily understand how their final product will be graded and the explicit teaching directions show you how to teach your students how to use it.  Students are encouraged to review the rubric before presenting their game and even score their own project.

Teachers may choose to project the sample game boards to show some of the options they can use to create their games.  Students will use the events in the plot, the setting, and the characters to build their games.  This will help them review previously taught material.  And, when they play each other's games, they will review many more books or stories they may have already forgotten.  This is a great lesson to wrap up the year with!
