INDIVIDUAL RESPONSE GAMES

These games will involve all your students and you can quickly check to see who has mastered a skill and who needs additional work.

Cell Phone
Run a phone pattern on heavy paper. Children can “design” their own cover on the back. As you call out numbers or letters they tap the answer on their phone.

*Use phones to practice learning phone numbers.

*Have children spell out sight words on their phones.

*Let children make up their own games they can play with a partner.

*Hole punch the corner so they can take “photos.”

NOTE! Free patterns for phones can be found with a google search.


Pinch Cards
Cut construction paper or heavy paper into 8 ½ “ x 5 ½” rectangles. Down the left side write the numerals 0-10. Write the very same numerals on the reverse side. As the teacher calls out math problems the children pinch the correct answer and hold up their cards.

*Make pinch cards for words, numeral recognition 10-20, phonics, etc.


Zip It
Write letters, words, numbers, etc. on the left side of a sheet of paper as shown and insert the paper in a zip bag. Call out a question, and children “zip” to the correct answer and then hold up their bag.

    

*If you write numerals horizontally you can use it like a number line.

Note! Cardstock works best. I had to trim my paper a little to fit snugly into the zip bag.


Wipe Off Boards
As the teacher asks questions, the children write the answer (letters, words, numerals, etc.) on wipe off boards and hold them up. Erase with a sock and you’re ready to go again.



Hint! Plastic plates or laminated white card stock are great substitutes for white boards.
