Winter Word Fun!

As Cyber Monday & Tuesday approaches, I wanted to share a new activity with you!  Introducing, Winter Word Fun!
 First, there is a category sort!  Students can match the hot chocolates to the children drinking them!  Some items can be sorted into multiple categories.

 Object Fun Snowball Fight:  Students pick a card and must express the function of the object listed.  Once they respond, they can hold onto their card.  If they pick the "snowball fight" card, they lose all their cards!  The student with the most cards at the end is the winner!
 Compare & Contrast at the Ice Skating Rink: Students pick a card and must express how the two items listed are the same and different.  Then they can hold onto the card.  If they pick the card "I've fallen and I cannot get up" they lose their cards!  The student with the most cards at the end is the winner.
 Multiple Meaning Mittens:  Students pick a card and must read the two sentences.  They must determine which word can be used to complete BOTH sentences.  This will illustrate that words have more than one meanings.  Each card has a point value, 1-5.  Once all cards are used, students can add up their points to determine a winner!
 Making Hot Chocolate:  Practice sequencing, comprehension, and vocabulary with this sequencing story and activities.  Use the sequencing cards to help illustrate the story and assist in understanding.  Students can use the graphic organizer to take notes.


 Making hot chocolate review game:  students pick a card and respond using their knowledge of vocabulary and comprehension from the story.  Each question card has an ingredient for making hot chocolate.  Object of the game is to collect all 6 ingredients first.  I recommend playing in teams to assist in achieving this goal.  I also included 2 mug pictures to make the game last longer.  Use the visual page for students to understand what their goal is!
