Students will jump from prefix to prefix, until they are told to stop. When they are told to stop, they should give an explanation of how the prefix changes the word on the same space. Example: Above, we see the word “disagree”. The student should explain what the word agree means, and how the prefix […]
Students should hop from block to block until they are told to stop. When they land on the block, they should explain the meaning of both of the words and use them in a sentence. Example: If a student lands on the block of “De-, Dis-”, they should explain what “defrost” and “disagree” mean. This […]
Have students hop until they are told to stop. Students will say the prefix that they land on, and then come up with a sentence using the prefix. They can come up with a new word using the prefix they land on, or use the example word in a sentence.
Students will choose a notecard (provided below) on the notecard there is a base word that is not listed on the mat. Students will hop to the prefix that makes sense with that base word. For example, you will see the word “Appear” on a notecard. Students will have to jump to the prefix that […]
Students will play hopscotch (alternating hopping off of both feet and one foot) up and down the mat while announcing each planet as they land on it.
Challenge students to say the planets in order as they jump down the mat without looking at what planet they are hopping on. You can also cover up the name of the planet with sticky notes, or scrap paper to encourage students to not look.
Students jump down the mat announcing first, second, third, etc. as they go. Follow up by asking students what the fourth planet from the sun is (for example). They can jump on the mat to find the answer if they are unsure.
Have students begin on the Sun. Then, they will jump to Mercury and walk a small orbit around the Sun block. Then, they will jump to Venus and walk a slight orbit around Mercury and the Sun. Have them continue this pattern all the way to Pluto.
Have students hop to a planet of their choice and give a fact about that planet. Encourage students to use facts that haven’t been said by other students.
Place sticky notes or paper over the names of each of the planets. Have a student stand at the beginning of the mat. Tell the student to jump to a certain planet. For example, a student stands on the start here box. You tell the student to hop to the planet Mars. The student will […]
