No olvides que este juego de mesa se juega con el modo presentación de PowerPoint.

¿Quién no ama los clásicos juegos de mesa? Esta es una adaptación navideña de uno de ellos. Tira los dados y mueve tu ficha. Intenta ser el primero en llegar exactamente a la casilla 36 y no caer en las bombas ya que te harán retroceder. Si aterrizas al comienzo de las flechas avanzarás muchas casillas. Si aterrizas en el primer sombrero, te llevará al segundo sombrero, pero si aterrizas en el segundo, te llevará de regreso al primero. No es necesario saberse las reglas pues al caer en una de estas casillas se activará automáticamente la animación que mueva tu ficha al lugar que le corresponda.

Pueden jugar de 1 a 4 jugadores o grupos de jugadores. Mi consejo es dividir la clase en 2, 3 o 4 grupos. Después de cada movimiento de la ficha, trata de responde uno de los 94 acertijos que aparecerán aleatoriamente al hacer clic en las cartas de preguntas. Cada grupo dará su respuesta por consenso y el grupo que la acierte, o que más se acerque a su respuesta correcta, será el que continúe el juego tirando los dados nuevamente. Si el acertijo es demasiado difícil para el nivel de su grupo, vuelva a hacer clic en las tarjetas de preguntas y saldrá una nueva.

Los acertijos son editables y, por lo tanto, se pueden cambiar con preguntas de las lecciones que se está dando, pero no elimine los cuadros de texto si no desea eliminar sus animaciones.

Los acertijos para niños pueden:

Mejora la comprensión lectora.

Les ayuda a concentrarse y prestar más atención.

Impulsa la resolución de problemas y el pensamiento crítico.

Fortalece las habilidades y conciencia lingüística.

Promueve el pensamiento analítico y el razonamiento deductivo.

Los acertijos también pueden mejorar el estado de ánimo de tus estudiantes, hacerlos reír y darles una sensación de logro.

No olvides que este juego de mesa se juega en modo de presentación de PowerPoint.

Instrucciones:

Cuando abra el documento por primera vez, se le pedirá que habilite el contenido que está bloqueado por razones de seguridad. Ese contenido no es más que el código de Visual Basic para el botón de tarjetas de preguntas para lograr un orden aleatorio de acertijos. Acéptelo para obtener las diapositivas de los juegos en dicho orden aleatorio.

When you first open the document, you will be prompted to enable content that is blocked for security reasons.

Experience the Festive Fun with our Christmas-themed PowerPoint Board Game!

Step into the holiday spirit with our Christmas adaptation of a classic board game! Roll the dice, move your token, and aim to be the first to reach square 36 while avoiding the tricky bombs that might set you back.

Playable with 1 to 4 players or groups, this game is perfect for classroom engagement. For a dynamic experience, divide your class into 2, 3, or 4 groups. After each token movement, get ready to tackle one of the 85 riddles that will pop up randomly when you click on the question cards. Each group will collaborate to provide an answer, and the group with the correct or closest response will earn the chance to continue by rolling the dice once more. If a riddle proves too challenging, simply click the question cards again for a new one.

Do you need a quick and efficient way to assess your students’ pre-primer and primer Dolch Sight Word recall?

Do want digital data files that can be easily accessed, shared, and analyzed?

This is a bundle with TWO Google Sheet files and TWO sets of student probes! I have also included the pre-primer and primer words in a presentation form with one word per slide!

This resource includes everything you need to benchmark your students’ high-frequency word recall three times each year. Each student (up to 30) will have a tab in this Google Sheet with three sight word assessments, one for fall, one for spring, and one for winter.

Simply click each missed word on the assessor probe as the student reads. Words read correctly and accuracy are automatically calculated and added to the class datasheet. A line graph of words read correctly will also be populated for quick analysis of class data and progress throughout the school year.

Each student probe can be printed and sent home so progress can be shared with parents (print horizontal, fit to page).

Fun, colorful overlays are included to help guide students’ eyes if you choose to present the student probes digitally (in PPT or Google Slides™)

Included in the zip file:

· A PDF with force copy links to the Google Sheet Digital Assessor Probes, Data Tracking, and Graph as well as a force copy link to the Google Slides version of the student probes.

· A PowerPoint and PDF (printable) version of the student probes.
