Why Should You Use Choice Boards?

• Students love choice boards because they can choose which activities they’d like to complete.
• If you have gifted or high-level students, choice boards are excellent to use for extension and enrichment. 
• I recommend having students choose one activity from the first row, one from the second row, and one from the third row to be sure a variety of topics are covered.
• My choice boards include activities for a variety of learning styles.
• Typically, the first column is for auditory learners, the second column is for visual learners, and the third column is for kinesthetic learners.
• It’s fun to see what types of activities your students choose because it will help you understand what their preferred learning styles are!
