Buzzers, Brains, and 5th Grade Competition Mode

Help me give my students game buzzers, brain teasers, Kanoodle puzzles, and Rubik’s Race so they can build teamwork, problem-solving, focus, and critical thinking skills.

My Project

My 5th graders love a challenge, especially when learning feels like a game.

These materials will give students fun ways to think critically, solve problems, work together, and stay engaged during review, early finisher time, small groups, and classroom challenges.

The Educational Insights Wireless Eggspert Game Buzzers will help turn review into an exciting classroom game show. Students can practice reading, math, science, and social studies skills while taking turns, listening carefully, and working as teams.

The Kanoodle Cosmic, Kanoodle 3D Brain Teaser, and Rubik’s Race games will challenge students to use logic, spatial reasoning, strategy, patience, and perseverance. These puzzles are perfect for students who need enrichment, quiet problem-solving activities, or a meaningful challenge when they finish work.

Together, these resources will help make our classroom more engaging, thoughtful, and fun.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
