Playing one of the following three Google Maps-based games is a fun way to reinforce the concept of using prior knowledge and observations.

A Fun Game and Mission to Teach Students About Giving Good Instructions I recently took on a new position teaching 400+ elementary students Computer and Technology. After the first few weeks of going over procedures and an introduction to computers, I noticed my students were getting restless. I’m taking the time before we go into coding to help students learn about giving instructions, since the most important thing all my elementary students learned this past week is that a computer works by following instructions. For the next few weeks, we will focus on process writing and how to write good instructions. In our district, we try different unplugged activities with the elementary students, such as give simple instructions to your partner who is acting like your robot.

Reading Comprehension Worksheets "Your reading comprehension materials are the best I've found on the web. They are so thorough and comprehensive! My students and I have learned a lot from them. Thanks so much!" Word Dominoes – tekhnologic The other week I wanted an activity that would allow students to have a controlled practice that could be done in small groups, but had a repetitive quality to really practice the target language.
