Worth it Wednesday {Wh- Whale Questions}

Rachel from over at The Queen's Speech has a great Wh- question activity available in her store- WH- Whale Questions {Who, What, When, Where, Why, How}. 

This is SUCH a cute activity! The graphics are adorable, and Rachel has done a wonderful job! First in her packet are definition pages. Each Wh- word has a page with it's definition as well as examples (what an awesome idea, right?). Then she provides you with cards to match the definition to the question word. I love this because it truly tests if the child understands what each question word means. 

Up next are the Wh- cards. There are 144 total cards, 24 for each word! There are open and close-ended questions, which is great! It gives students an opportunity to give their own opinions on questions while also providing them with the structure of close-ended questions. 

After the question cards is a homework/quiz page. Your students must draw a line from the Wh- question to its meaning. AND they have to write two of their own Wh- questions. Here's where this product is different from so many other Wh- question products I've seen. Your students have to form their own Wh- question- what better way to see if they truly understand what each question means! To make it even more fun, she has included a die with the question words on each side. Have your students roll the die and ask that type of question. You could also use this with the Wh- question cards. Just have your students roll the die and answer the type of question they land on.

The last page includes a cute game board to be used with the game or with any other targets you choose.

Overall, I think this game ROCKS! What I love:

• The anchor charts for each word. Not only do they include the definition, they also include lots of examples (huge plus!)
• The Wh- cards are new and interesting from what I've seen before
• Your students have to ask Wh- questions, not just answer them
• A die is included (I don't know about you, but there's something about dice that my students go nuts over!)
• The graphics are so cute and are very versatile for all age groups

The preceding thoughts are solely mine and were written on my own terms, no person asked me to write this review.
