Language Boxes for Older Students

If your caseload is anything like mine, it is chocked full of language goals. And if your students are anything like mine, they get bored. Fast. And the one thing that they love that will keep them interested is a game. I know, I know. You're probably thinking, not another game! (Because trust me, I was!) The thought of pulling out the game pieces, a generic game board my students have seen hundreds of times, and that electronic spinner that all the kids love so much (and I've loved to hate) makes me want a shot. Of caffeine of course :)

So I bring you back to the good old game of my childhood- the box game! (for the lack of a better name. If you know the actual name of this game I would love to know it!) The premise is simple, you have a grid of equally spaced dots that players take turns connecting to form a box. The part that makes this game fun is the strategy involved- draw too many lines of the same box and your opponent can complete it and claim it as their own! 

Add in some language goals and you have yourself a fun, exciting, and simple game that will hold your students' attention while they practice their IEP goals.

Monster Multiple Meaning Words

Those multiple meaning words can be hard. I mean, how many different definitions can one word have!? After making this product, I've found that words have toooooo many meanings!! But since I can't make any of those meanings go away, I figured I'd make this to help those kids that may struggle with words with multiple meanings. 

I present to you, 

This download is leveled, with two sets of words and definitions. The first level is for grades Kindergarten through 5th grade, the second level is for grades 6th through 12th. 

Level one words

Level two words

Each word has at least two definitions, some have three! They are also distinguished by levels. 

Level one

Level two

Also included are 6 special cards that can be used to add some variety to the games, as well as a worksheet. The worksheet includes a space for the target word, lines for the different definitions of the word, and lines to make sentences with the target word and its definitions. 

You can find my newest download here. Oh, and did I mention that this HUGE (37 pages!!!) download is FREE!? Go download it and leave me some feedback, I would appreciate it. 

In the mean time, I'm getting ready to go watch Luke Bryan shake it for me! What are your plans for the weekend?
