Activities- Days and TimeWhole Class- Elimination Game Have students say the months of the year around a circle. The beginning person says the first month, next person says the next month, etc. Each person has 3 seconds to say the name of the month. If they are incorrect or take longer than 3 seconds to respond, they are out of the game. Go until only one person in left. For added difficulty, vary the game a little by stating a month (it's March now) and asking what month is 3 months from now or 4 months ago. You may want to add a little more time here, say 6 seconds to respond. ** This activity can also be done for the days of the week.
Whole Class- Speedy Response Select one student at random in the class and ask him/her what time they do things during the day (see list below for ideas). After they answer, select another student. Be sure to ask all the students in the class and give the same number of questions to each student. If they answer within 3 seconds they get a ding-ding-ding! If they take longer to answer they get a buzz. The person with the most dings wins.
