7th Grade English Language Arts Games

Identifying text structure can be tricky, but this interactive and hands-on sort makes practice engaging, particularly because the topics are relevant for middle school students. This set includes sports, video games, and social media topics, students will enjoy reading through each prompt and moving the pieces to the correct spot on the gameboard. For low prep, teachers can choose to avoid cutting out the pieces for the gameboard and opt for students to follow the coloring guide to sort through the prompts.

What is included:

• Three engaging and interactive sorts to identify problem and solution, description, compare and contrast, cause and effect, and sequence prompts.
• Three game boards to paste prompts onto the correct column.
• Three 20-piece themed sorts about sports, social media, and video games.
• Three color by structure pages for low prep.
• Three answer keys.

Ideas for implementation:

• This product would be great for extra practice once text structures are introduced!
• These sorts can be done for Do now, stations, morning work, homework, or intervention.

WHY BUY THIS?

Aren’t we all a little more engaged when material is presented to us in a fun way? Turning a simple worksheet or practice test into a review game captures students’ attention and increases their motivation to participate. If your classroom is anything like mine, you know that behavior problems are minimal when student engagement is high. 

With this customizable game board, you can turn any worksheet, practice test, or topic into an irresistible game that students are begging you to play.

I know it can be nearly impossible to find pre-made review games that perfectly align with your curriculum.  

Let’s say you're a 4th-grade teacher using the Bridges math curriculum and want to review for the unit 3 math test at the end of the week. 

The odds of finding a review game for this specific test on TeachShare are pretty slim, so save the time spent searching for something and create a game yourself. 

This editable template allows you to create a jeopardy-style review game to match exactly what you want students to learn and practice. Just divide the material into the main categories and input the questions and answers into the game board. BOOM, it’s ready to play! 

I’ve even included a question planning template and step-by-step instructions to make the planning process even easier for you!

The focus of this breakout is Shakespeare’s The Twelfth Night. The activities in this breakout game are designed to help students review what they have read in the play. A great review game before a test or quiz. Comes complete with answer key.

In yoga, the Yamas & Niyamas are a moral code of conduct, a guideline for how to live. Together, the Yamas & Niyamas help us to make careful decisions about how to think, speak, and behave. This foundational thinking prepares children to form healthy relationships with themselves and others.

This bundle includes two (2) lesson units:

1. Yamas & Niyamas Teen Unit is 47-page PDF download directed at teenagers
2. Yamas & Niyamas Kid Unit is a 48-page PDF download directed at kids ages 7-11

Both units are a PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper.

This bundle contains twenty (20) lesson plans that can be used as a yoga class series, or easily incorporated into the school classroom. Adults can facilitate conversations, games, activities, and yoga experiences that give children concrete information about each of the Yamas & Niyamas.  

Each lesson plan breaks down one of the Yamas or Niyamas and includes; introduction to that specific core value, a discussion guide, small group work or activity, breathing exercises and yoga poses to challenge and engage children.

How can kids benefit from learning about the yamas and niyamas? Our founder Lara Hocheiser discusses how to apply the principles of yamas and niyamas to children ages 7-11 in Yamas and Niyamas Webinar for Kids.

Learning the Parts of Speech for High School and Middle School - while this might one of those building blocks for lower levels, students still need a refresher.

Why is this important?

• Common Vocabulary - When talking about the structure of a sentence, students and teachers need a common vocabulary.
• Improve student writing - when students see how adverbs and adjectives create vivid sentences, you can prompt them to work them in.
• Structure Matters - when talking about what's wrong with a sentence, we have to examine the elements that go into it.

What's Included:

• Powerpoint Lesson covering the basics
• Guided Student Lecture Notes during the lesson
• In-Class Games
• Anchor Charts for Class & Notebooks
• 3 Pages of Practice
• 2 Student Activities are digital

Interactive individual or group activity that uses symbols and inferencing to answer the Top Ten Kids' Movies. Colorful images with answer sheet. Movies included: Bambi Cars Ice Age Monsters, Inc. Pinocchio Princess Bride Shrek Tinkerbell Toy Story Wall-E

These are fake Instagram posts that have pictures of activities. One post shows the activity happening in the present and the other post shows the activity either finished or happening in the past. The teacher will need to cut out the Instagram posts and the text boxes. Then the students will need to place the descriptions (inside the text boxes) with the correct Instagram post. The majority of the practice with this activity is focused on past tense, but there is also present and future tense.

**An extension for the activity is to have the students underline and identify the verb that shows the tense of the sentence.**

This can be used for multiple grade levels and would be a great support activity for upper elementary and middle school students who need practice with verb tenses (especially past tense).

I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

✯ The movies - ESL - ELL Taboo Speaking Game ✯

Playing TABOO is a great way to get ESL students to speak English and learn a lot of new vocabulary. This game is simple to modify and use with beginners and advanced students alike. In this MOVIES version of the game there are 35 playing cards. I've included 2 fun ways to play this fun vocabulary game and both are explained in the instructions.

This ESL Taboo game includes the following:

How to play classic Taboo (beginner and advanced levels)

35 Taboo game cards to print, laminate, cut out and hook together with a ring

Black and white and grayscale copies are included

PDF for projecting one card at a time for a whole class activity

How to play 15 MINUTES MAX - an alternative version of the game

15 MINUTES MAX game board

Object of the game

One player tries to get his teammate to guess the word at the top of a card. The player must give clues, but he can't use any of the Taboo words in his description. The taboo words are written beneath the word at the top of the card. Teams score points for each word successfully guessed. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Beginner students should be allowed to use the TABOO words printed on the cards. This will encourage them to use new vocabulary and will help them in forming sentences to use as clues.

⭐ Teacher Answer Key

This fun front-loading lesson includes 10 short reading passages and a final mystery word that students must unscramble. Each card reveals a new code word. The correct code words are not only found on a different card but also must be found IN the reading passage.

⚠️ CAUTION: Should you choose to use the activity as a review activity, the questions would be too easy and the completion time would be too quick. Therefore, I highly encourage this activity to introduce a new unit.

How does it work?

Students choose a reading card to start at and may start at ANY card. They read the passage and look at the question at the bottom labeled “code word”. The code word for THAT card number will lead them to a different card. But here’s the catch… students will NOT know where to find the answer so they will have to visit, skim, browse and revisit the clue cards and reading passages several times to find the answer they are seeking. (The more times they read or skim, the greater the chances of the info sinking in!)

Is it still a scavenger hunt?

It sure is! Students are roaming around the room hunting for answers. With large groups it’s often too hard to hide clues without the first group giving away the location once a clue has been found. This format ensures that ALL students can participate, and the “answers” will not be revealed by students who “finish” first.

You can hang the cards on the wall, scatter them on the floor, place them on desks, hide them or use as stations. How you choose to set it up in your classroom is up to you.

Students can work in pairs (or individually) and race to complete 10 questions, secret word and secret code. A friendly competition always increases engagement.
