Koosh Ball Challenge Rule
Only one rule: The students must come to the SMARTBoard to interact with the activity – maybe not on every page, but on most of the pages.
Thoughts to ponder: Start with the end in mind! What do you want your students to learn? What concepts do you want to introduce, review or reinforce? How do you want them to respond at the board? How can you make it interactive for the whole class, not just the students at the board? What do you want the rest of the class to be doing while they watch? What will make them smile? How will you encourage the one who answers incorrectly and reward the one who gets it right?
If you need help, I’m right here!
Koosh Ball Challenge: Game on!
When you are finished creating, share the link to your new koosh ball activity. It’s time to create! Game on!
