Writing Games: Day 5 FREEBIES :)

        I'm not sure how many of you have been watching the weather reports but with Tropical Storm/Depression (whatever she is) Debby hanging around yesterday I took it upon myself to create three more writing activities from Peggy Kaye's Games for Writing.
   
        The first activity is called "He's So Loud."  The purpose of this activity is to help the students' build their character development as they write their own narratives.  It sounds pretty fun and definitely quick, cheap, and easy to implement in your classroom if you choose.

        The second activity is called "How Many Words?"  This activity challenges the students to write sentences based on words from a predetermined list.

        The third and final activity for today is called "The Three-Sentence Challenge."  This activity is one where the players must write three sentences (clues) to describe without naming a mystery object.  I am hopeful that this activity will be a great intro to summarizing since so many students have difficulty finding the balance between too much and not enough info in a summary, at least that's been my experience anyway.

         If you enjoy the game please let me know by leaving me a comment.  If you see something that you need/would like changed (especially typos) let me know that too.  If you know someone that would also like the game please pass it on to them, direct them to my blog or both!

        One more thing, Teaching Maddeness is having a 300 follower giveaway!  So if you get a chance you should definitely check out her blog, it's a great blog and besides who doesn't love free stuff?!?
