3rd Grade Back to School Games

"My students loved creating their "Music Superheroes!" while we listened to superhero theme songs! They really enjoyed listening to the classical pieces chosen and were excited to find pieces they had heard before in class." - Music with Mrs. Kennedy

Build a Classical Superhero! Each activity uses the students initial(s) to decode a music-inspired name, instrument, and theme song. Great for a back to school, mini class activity, or a music center.

The objective is to assemble a variety of musical qualities for the hero. Each superhero will have a different story, briefly told through their theme song and other choices. Creative writing or storytelling is encouraged.

Full-color pages for music centers/activities are included, with a variety of design and color options provided. The black & white version is also included.

What's Inside:

• Instruction Page An easy to follow guide of how to build a superhero is provided.
• Superhero Name Generator - Students use their first and last initials to generate a unique hero name. There are two choices per box to choose from - which adds variety if a student has the same first & last initials. The names are from classical composers and are not gender specific.
• Superhero Instrument Sounds - Will their superhero arrive with a loud trumpet blast or a soothing violin? The first letter of their name will lead them to the answer.
• Find Your Superhero Theme! - Every hero needs a theme, and a musical superhero is no exception. Each letter is associated with a popular classical music piece; making their themes easier to identify. A superhero theme will range from Bach'shauntingly beautiful "Toccata and Fugue" to the inspiring "Morning Mood" by Grieg.
• Meet Your Classical Superhero! - All of the activities come together here - students can choose between two characters as their heroes to name and color. The additional character can be their partner or sidekick. After their instrument and theme song have been filled in, students can use the checkbox to choose which musical era they are from.

Tamaño original: 14 x 8.5 in o 36 x 22 cm

This printable back-to-school Scavenger Hunt for kids is a winning combination of treasure hunt clues and riddles! This printable kids' game includes 10 riddles and hiding spots for kids to venture around the classroom looking for clues. Each riddle reveals a new hiding spot and code word. Get your students acquainted with the classroom at the start of the school year!

Gameplay: 20-30 minutes Ages: 7-10

This fun and engaging classroom mystery quest will be a huge hit for kids ages 7 - 10. Whether you're looking for a fun way to acquaint your new students with the classroom, greet your new students in a fun, friendly way (so they are excited to come back!), or a way to give a reward, this activity is perfect for you.

HOW IT WORKS: A “secret mission” is read, and Clue # 1 is handed to the “treasure seeker, " leading to Clue 2 in a different location. All you have to do is print the clues, cut them in half, and hide them in the classroom exactly as directed! All hiding spots are common classroom locations. The list of hiding spots can be found inside your download and in the listing below. The final prize is up to you! Maybe it’s a small candy or toy reward, or a title in the classroom (such as "the winner gets to be teacher's helper for the week"). The possibilities for what you choose to hide in the final location are endless.

INCLUDED IN THE INSTANT DOWNLOAD

• PDF Scavenger Hunt (8.5 x 11)
• 10 Riddle clues
• Recording sheet
• Set up instructions
• Hiding locations (lost & found, coat area, whiteboard/chalkboard, under teacher & students' desks, closet/storage room, cubbies, curtains/window, cabinet, supplies bin/closet)
• Frequently Asked Questions

PERFECT FOR:

☑️ Classroom party games

☑️ Rainy day activities

☑️ Classroom tours

☑️ Introduction to the school year

☑️ Collaborative games

☑️ Getting to know fellow students

☑️ Behavior rewards

☑️ Report card reward

How long does this activity take to complete?

It really depends on a lot of things. Estimated completion time is 20 minutes but it’s based on the kids’ riddle skills, group size, and age. It is also HIGHLY based on how difficult it is to find the clue cards. We always suggest folding the riddles and hiding them really well, out of plain sight!

How many kids can play at once?

Kids can play individually, with friends, or with their siblings. For a larger group, you’ll likely want to print and hide multiple copies of each clue.

How do I set up the Scavenger Hunt?

To set up the Scavenger Hunt, you will need to cut the clue cards in half and hide them in the appropriate location. The PDF includes the correct hiding spots for each clue. All hiding spots are common household places such as under the bed, bathroom sink or in a closet. The harder the clues are to find, the more fun the kids have! If clues are hidden in plain sight, the hunt would be completed too quickly.

Where do kids begin?

You may begin in any location of the classroom. Together, the “mission” is read out loud to get your kids hooked. Kids are then handed the first clue card. Each clue card contains a riddle that will lead them to the location of the next clue.

How do I set up the activity?

Just print, cut, hide and play! Everything you need is included in your download.

Do I have to print out the game materials for every kid?

Nope! You ONLY have to print out the answer sheet for each kid or group. Just one set of the actual clue cards is all you need!

Looking for a fun way for your students to break the ice and get to know one another? This board game can be what you are looking for. Filled with questions that are simple, easy, and start conversations going. Can be great for the first day back to school, small groups, or lunch bunches.

A HUGE thank you to the following content creators for making my resource possible:

This is a freebie for you!

This game of "Four Corners" is not new or unique; however, this one will work great for your middle schoolers who need to get up and move, and you'll find they are more apt to share without raising their hands or writing it down. This quick and easy, no prep and no printing activity will allow you to truly get to know them on a personal level very quickly.

It's HIGHLY visual so this could even fly in a Core French classroom (Grades 5 - 9); however, I use it in an immersion setting (Grades 5 and 6). It could comfortably be used in any Immersion or French first-language classroom (Grades 3 - 9). As with all of my products, it's not at all babyish and doesn't feature fonts that are frilly or hard-to-read.

For this activity, simply project and GO. I let my students know that they will have to choose their response and move to the corner of the room that suits their answer. You can either click through the slides, have a student touch your SmartBoard to move them along, or you can use a remote clicker or mouse (I do while I'm playing!) to keep the slides rolling.

This Google Slide Deck features :

• 29 pre-created, non-modifiable question slides with 4 options to choose from.
• A template for you to use if you'd like to add in your own questions at the end of the presentation.

Other ways to play:

• I've also allowed students independently to each create a slide and add it into the mix on day 2! Should you choose this option, simply copy the last slide into a Google Slide (11" x 8.5") and share a copy to each student in Google Classroom. Let the magic begin!
• You can choose to extend this activity by having your students huddled in their corners chat about their preferences, or share with the whole group. You can also (I do!!) play WITH them and get to know your students based on these small conversations in the "corners" of your classroom.

I hope you have a G R E A T back-to-school, and hope your kids love you! I sure appreciate all of you!

Don't forget to have fun and be real!

Kaitlyn.

What’s Included In This Package:

Capital & lowercase letters A-z

Each bus has an Uppercase letter on one side as well as a lowercase letter on the other side. Cut each bus out and then cut through the line in the middle of the school bus to separate the letters. Laminate these activity cards and then lay these bus pieces out on the table for your students to match and complete each bus-themed letter puzzle. This is a great hands-on learning activity for your littles to practice matching the Uppercase and lowercase letters together.

I would print these shape cards out, cut them out, and then cut along the line in the middle of the bus. I would then laminate these shape activities and let your students have fun completing these shape bus-themed puzzles.

Rectangle - Triangle

Oval - Pentagon

Diamond - Hexagon

Star - Heart

Octagon

Numbers 1-10 w/ Corresponding Number Of Dots
