Summertime Learning FUN! {Upper Elementary}

Last year I taught summer school, and boy – we had a blast! There are so many fun games and activities we can do to help learning be totally awesome. This is especially true when kids are unmotivated to be in school and we have no choice but to keep them 100% engaged!

This blog is geared more toward upper elementary, but you can see my lower elementary ideas here.

First up – dodgeball math!

These fuzzy dice were the perfect way to get the students working on their basic math skills. Sometimes we added, other times we multiplied, but we always had fun! {Just make sure you say no head shots! I was the only one who took a shot to the eye, but that die really hurt! lol}

Next up – Scrabble Apple!

Next up – a similar game, Bananagrams!

Then of course we did plenty of basic writing. But I really wish we had these “Caption This” writing prompts back then. They would have kept the kids so engaged!!!
