Do students need a Google account or Google Classroom to play?
No! Neither of these things are required to use this resource. My own students played without a Google account and without Google Classroom. You just need a way to share the link with your students so they can play! I used a link sharing platform my school used called Clever.
Most games will have a addition/subtraction focus. Students will open a Google Form and be introduced to character (themed to fit each month.) The character will recruit the class to help with some kind of task related to the theme (helping Santa prepare for Christmas, helping a penguin prepare a New Years Party, etc.) Students must complete the challenges before the countdown runs out of time! The amount of time can be set by the teacher (30-40 minutes recommended, the teacher can add or subtract time as they see fit.)
Students will move through four tasks to complete the challenges. All questions are written as story problems to engage students. Due to the design of the product, 1st-3rd grade math level is recommended as a best fit. Please note that 1st graders may struggle with the level/amount of reading in the story problems. The teacher may want to pair students or read the problems together for this age.
Please see each product page in the bundle to view the theme and math focuses for each game.
These activities are great for both in-person and digital learners. Each learner will need a device (unless sharing with a partner) and may also want paper and pencil for the last challenge (decoding the password.) Teachers will need a basic knowledge of Google products and know how to operate Google Drive to share this Google Form (instructions on how to share/ideas for where to share the link are included in the product.)
This design of the form ONLY allows students to move to the next task once they have all the answers correct in their current task. This means no grading or checking for the teacher! Once the student has completed the entire challenge, the teacher knows they answered all questions correctly! Due to this design, students MUST enter answers with exact CASE and SPACING or the form will think their answer is incorrect (more info on this below.)
Here are additional things to note:
- The questions/images in this product are not editable, as they were not made in Google.
- This form will need to shared with students through some kind of learning platform, (such as Google Classroom, Clever, or Canvas) via student/parent emails, or the chat box of a video call session.
- These forms are currently set to only allow EXACT right answers. They are CASE and SPACE sensitive, meaning they will NOT allow students to move to the next section if their answers are not exactly the same (unfortunately, there is not a way to program multiple right answers in a Google Form unless the form is designed as a quiz. This would allow students to move on regardless of if their answers were correct or not.)
- PLEASE tell your students about the CASE and SPACE design of these forms to eliminate frustration.
- If you think the Case and Space design of the product might be troublesome, you CAN take it out! Simply go into editor mode and click the little x by each answer (photo shown in product.) Note that this will allow students to complete the form with incorrect answers.
- You CAN add or remove questions in editor mode as you see fit.
- You CANNOT re-sell or share this product with other teachers unless they have purchased the product or a license to share.
- The last task (task 4) in the game requires students to transfer their number answers into letters using a key. My in-person 2nd graders liked the assistance of paper and pencil during this task to help make it easier. You may want to suggest this to your students.
- The ending screen (in some versions) mentions that a prize has been sent to the teacher for the class to share. This could be anything as simple as a virtual dance party, candy sent by mail or passed out in person, bookmark, coloring page, or homework pass. Please delete the images if you want to skip the prize.
WHAT BUYERS SAY:
"I have used this game with all 3 of my 3rd grade math classes and they all love it. I love that it is easy enough for them to be successful but still challenging enough for those students who may struggle a bit. I love the set up of it and the kids even try and beat their previous times. They are all so cute and creative such a treat for any classroom. "
