What educators are saying

This was a great addition to my test prep carnival. The kids loved it and it was a great way for them to earn tickets and review information.
This was a great resource. My students and I enjoyed it. I can tell a lot of hard work went into creating it and I am greatly appreciative. I created carnival games for kids. They earned tickets throughout the unit and were able to "spend" them at the carnival. Fun way to review for EOGs.

Description

Students have to prepare for state testing, there is just no way around it. But I like to make it engaging for them so they work hard! In this challenge, they are engaged the entire time so that they can earn tickets to play games. They read and work on text dependent questions that are similar to what they see on testing. They don't even know they are preparing for the test!
