Well, we finally made it to Friday which means the weekend is here!! Danielle
from Sublime Speech and I decided to SWAP-N-BLOG this week! I am so excited to share my review and some
pictures of her awesome activity Monster Questions! If you haven’t already visited her blog
and/or TpT store, then you must head over to them. Her products are so innovative, organized,
eye-catching, and fun. The
ideas/activities on her blog will keep your students interested and excited.
This
activity targets answering AND formulating questions. There are actually 4 different games in the
packet: Formulating questions, answering questions, question/answer go fish,
and replying. Here is everything
included in the HUGE 228 card packet….
6 printable monster grins. Just cut them out, laminate, and attach
to a popsicle stick and use during the game for added hilarity!
Each game includes “wild cards” which are sad monsters and
grin-exciting monster events!
Answering: 72 Who, What, Where, When, and How questions
Formulating: 42 Y/N, Who, What, Where, When, and How questions with a given
topic. Students formulate questions
accordingly.
Replying: 24 cards for students to reply appropriately to a peer's
statement with a question.
Question Go-Fish: 36 Y/N, Who, What, Where, When, and How questions to match
with their answers. The cards are color and grin-coordinated to easily spot a
match!
Blank Template Pages: 24 blank cards included in the deck for you to use for
extra questions or other games.
How
I used the game with my students:
First
of all, my students LOVED the monster grins on the Popsicle sticks. They thought it was so funny when holding
them up to their mouths. Each student in
my groups received a monster grin before the game started.
I used “Answering questions” with a few
different groups. I placed all cards
face down in a pile in the center of the table.
For my older students, they read the cards themselves and answered the
questions. For my younger students, I
read the question to them and if answered correctly, they collected the
card. The student with the most cards at
the end was the winner!
I
have so many students struggling with formulating questions so I was so excited
to try the activity out. I set up the
game by placing all cards face down in the center of the table. They took turns choosing cards and reading
their chosen topic and the question starter.
If an appropriate question was formulated, the student kept the
card. Whoever had the most cards at the
end was the winner!
The
last activity I used was Replying where students take turns choosing cards and
read the prompt (i.e. I had a soccer game this weekend). Another student in the group must reply with
an appropriate question (i.e. Did you win or what was the score?) This is another great activity for student
struggling with formulating questions.
My students were very successful with this activity because of the
prompts on the cards.
This
is an extremely useful and engaging game that I’m sure your students will
absolutely love. I used this activity with students in grades 1-4. This activity has
endless possibilities and is a must have!
This product is one of many products by one of my absolute favorite SLP bloggin' friends, Danielle. She is truly a talented SLP! This material can be found on her TpT store. Also, check out her Facebook page and blog!
