Hole-In-One

Several times this year, I pulled out the "golf clubs" and reviewed Language Arts concepts. This was an easy way to review the content without using a worksheet or textbook.

I found the plastic golf clubs and balls at Dollar Tree. I bought 15 of them and will use them forever. I also purchased blue, yellow, and red solo cups. The students were also given an answer document and tally chart for this activity.

I created a PowerPoint review. Each slide had a sentence and three possible answer choices: blue, yellow, and red. Each student recorded their answer and then we shared our thoughts. When I revealed the answer, each student that recorded the correct answer was able to putt. The students also kept up with how many times they were able to get the ball into the cup. 

When I incorporate these activities, I never have behavior problems. The students want to do the fun stuff. When you set high expectations and create an environment where students thrive, why would they want to act out?

Dollar Tree always has toys like this. Keep your eyes open. You never know what you will find that you can use in your classroom.

Enjoy!
