New games!

 Well, I've been cycling through the same 5 learning games for the last 3 years now. The kids enjoy some more than others, but recently one of the kids told me that I needed some new games. So I went searching. I found a website called teacherspayteachers.com, and there are some things that you need to pay for, but there is also a lot that is free! I found one new game and some different activity sheets for the different ages that I tutor. The game I found is called Uh-oh! It's a card game with easy sentences on them for a first grade reader. The student draws cards and reads them out loud, and continues drawing and reading until they draw an "Uh-oh!" card. Then their turn is over, and either another student (if you're tutoring a group) or the tutor (myself) starts drawing cards and reading them until they get an "Uh-oh" card. Then it's the first student's turn again. Whoever has the most cards at the end of the game wins. I'm going to try this out on at least one of my students tomorrow, then maybe wait to play it with another student who is a little behind the other first grader in a few weeks. We'll see how it goes.
