Exponent Dice Game
I created this dice game for students to practice exponents after our multiplication lesson on exponents. The strategy of the game is to choose the base and exponent that will give you the highest answers, because at the end the students will have to total up their answers in order to see who wins with the highest total. This helps with number sense, multiplication practice, and understanding exponential form.

Bible Break out Box || using Parables!
This is the opposite of an Escape Room as you are breaking into a box. This religious game uses four parables - sower, talents, lost sheep and the good Samaritan. My kids have played these in school and they call it “break out boxes”. In my opinion, it should be called “break in” because you’re racing to break-in to the last box! There are four boxes total (one inside the others) and you have to figure out how to get into each one. You can have as many groups as you have materials for. If you h
