Our 2nd grade team will divide our students into groups 3-5. The students will be playing and learning at the same using Jenga! The twist on a classic game will be a hit with every student. We will provide questions that range from the higher order levels to a Jenga game. The blocks will be numbered. The students will provide a template with questions that are numbered which will be used with the game in each group. We number the blocks so students can’t see the question before pulling the block out,. The students will pull out the block. Read the number and respond to the question that corresponds to that number. This activity will have students developing multiple skills or one skill at a time to improve comprehension, fluency, communication, collaboration, and much more! In Math, the students will practice and increase their knowledge on their math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Also, the students will respond to word problems as well. In Science, the students can have conversations about the science experiments, observations, and other. In Social Studies, the students will discuss about U.S. symbols, cultures, celebrations, American heroes, and much more. In Literacy, the students will discuss about books, vocabulary words, learning, grammar, and other. The large Jenga blocks will be used as a whole group activity. We will be able to reuse the Jenga blocks for every subject.
