Activity Instructions

This is a variation on “The Tens Have It.” Distribute word cards to a few students and ask them to identify and then jump to their words. Ask another student to roll a die while a different student calls “plus” or “minus” (or rolls a +/- die.) The students advance toward the bottom of the mat or retreat toward the top of the mat by that many steps. They take turns jumping on their words 5x while saying them.
