Scoot News , Plus Something Free ...Maybe!

Hi, Teaching Friends!

First of all, apologies for the lame post title. The only other option I was coming up with was "Hodgepodge Lodge", which I used to say to my kids about their messy rooms when they were little.
Sometimes, there's just no one good title to a smorgasbord of a post!

Two items to share today:

If you bought my ELA Scoot Games set, another one of the promised add-on games has arrived! It's Onset/Rime Scoot. Catchy, huh? I love this one, 'though ... lots of thinking for your little ones, combined with a really useful decoding skill. Here's a sample page of clues.

Those who bought this set early really got a dream of a deal! But even now, the eight-game set is only $7.00, and anything I add to it in the future will be yours to download at no additional charge.

Second on the agenda: Tomorrow (11/15) is the last day to enter a giveaway at my Teachers Notebook shop. Three people will win this set of Common Core Math Games for Winter. It's a fun set that I had a great time making, so I hope you'll head over for a chance to win one!

 

 

Keep an eye on the giveaways for next week at TN ... I just might be giving something away for a big day coming up that starts with T and ends with g.  Shhhhhh - can't tell you yet! :)

Happy Teaching!

Synonym Scoot!

Hello, Teaching Friends!

Just a quick post to let you know that I've added another game to the ELA Scoot set - it's Synonym Scoot!

This game is only available for now as a part of this larger bundle. It's one of seven Scoot games in the set - long vowel spelling patterns, cvc words, alphabetical order, digraphs, compound words, and rhyming, too! (If you're one of those smart shoppers who bought this pack way back when it only had four games and you're getting all of the new additions free -  woo-hooooo!)

 

 

For those of you who just want to give one of these games a try, I just posted CVC Scoot as a separate item. For 31 picture cards, your kiddos will get a recording sheet that has the first letter of each word, and finish writing each word as they enjoy moving around the room. See it here!

Scoot News... and a Freebie!

Hi, Teaching Friends!

Do you Scoot? It's hard to imagine a simpler activity that also keeps our kids focused and moving! Have you thought about using the cards for Read the Room, too?  I'm all about getting multiple uses from the same resource (sort of like those Pinterest pins that give you 30 crockpot recipes for chicken!)

This set is one of my favorites!

If you're looking for more ideas for using Scoot games, check this post here at Primary Inspiration. Then head on over to Teaching Blog Roundup to read about an idea that changes a game of Scoot into Musical Chairs!

Just for fun, here's a Scoot freebie from the set above for you - Long A Scoot!



If you're interested in Scoot games for math, here's a set of a dozen for first and second grade, from my TpT store.

Inside Scoop on a Deal on Scoot!

Hi, Teaching Friends!

Some title, eh? Say it three times fast...

Far be it from me to interfere with your shopping time today :), but I want to give you a chance to get in on a super deal. Last night I posted this set of two Scoot games for CVC words.

 

 

Each game has 31 cards, a student recording sheet, and an answer key. There are also "Take a Break" cards for you to use if you choose to add some variety or if you have more than 31 students (oh, I sincerely hope that's not the case!!).

The set sells for $3.50, which means that with the BTS sale at Teachers Pay Teachers, it's now down to $2.80, and if you use that magic code at checkout (BTS13), you'll pay just over $2.50. Deal!!


But here's where the real deal comes in! This is just the beginning of this set. I have plans (already scribbled in little notebooks, actually) to expand this resource with more ELA Scoot games: digraphs, sight words, etc. At least another 4 or 5 games will be added, which will make your cost per game about $.40!


If you buy it now for $2.50, you'll be able to download the updates at no charge! So when the content (and quite likely the price, too) of this set goes up, you can just sit back with a smug grin and wear your "Smart Shopper" badge!

Have a great day, Smart Shoppers! And have fun as you browse!

Happy Teaching!
