How does it work?
Students work to move their pieces across the game board by completing 5 challenges and 2 checkpoints in the following order:
- Challenge 1: ELA activity
- Challenge 2: Writing challenge
- Checkpoint 1: Craft – Directed drawing
- Challenge 3: Math activity
- Challenge 4: STEM challenge
- Checkpoint 2: Craft – Directed drawing
- Challenge 5: Diorama
A checkpoint is optional, but if a student completes a checkpoint, they get an incentive. You can modify the checkpoint activity and the incentive for your classroom!
Teacher Tips:
- Use a hanging file folder with each challenge, checkpoint, and answer key inside. Input your students' names in the editable label according to their group and put it on the front of the file for easy reference.
- Leave an empty hanging file at the back of the box for completed work.
- Display the finished artwork, boats, and dioramas in the classroom and make a book out of the research projects for a fun little exhibit of your students' handiwork.
Here's what our teacher friends have to say about this resource:
We have just started using this in our second grade class as an early finisher activity. I love how engaged and excited the students are to get to the next challenge. They are working together, at their own pace and level but are engaged, so much better than any early finisher worksheet. I love it! Thank you for sharing. - Hippie Chick ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This resource is FANTASTIC! The directions are simple and little prep work beforehand. I love the differentiated activities and the flexibility to complete at a rate that would be meaningful for your class. - Allysa B. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm always satisfied with purchases from this seller. Very well-suited for grade one. - Melissa O. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
