Argument and Counterargument Matching Game

I used this game when teaching argument and counterargument with my 5th graders. I cut the strips of paper up (could glue them onto construction paper to make them more sturdy) and distributed them to the class. They had to walk around the room and find their match. When the game ended, students lined up with their match and I called on a few students to share out whether their card was the argument/counterargument. Students had to justify their answers. You can reshuffle cards and play again

Punctuation Pass! (card game to practice conventions and punctuation)

Created by

Planting Seeds and Growing Minds

This is a game I came up with last year to help my students practice punctuation in a fun and engaging way! Many times punctuation and conventions are based on a set of rules that we teach kids, but conventions can be much more easily understood when taught to be incorporated when it would be natural and make sense. Punctuation Pass! helps emphasis the natural speech patterns and usage of conventions in our language.
