What educators are saying

I have really struggled finding standards based activities for my early finishers that weren't "video game like". These choice board menus was exactly what I needed for them. They loved getting to choose their activities and they were eager to complete them on their extra time!
I used this as enrichment activities for virtual learning because of snow days. The students liked having a choice in what they did.

    Why Should You Use Choice Boards?

    • Students love choice boards because they can choose which activities they’d like to complete.
    • If you have gifted or high-level students, choice boards are excellent to use for extension and enrichment
    • I recommend having students choose one activity from the first row, one from the second row, and one from the third row to be sure a variety of topics are covered.
    • My choice boards include activities for a variety of learning styles.
    • Typically, the first column is for auditory learners, the second column is for visual learners, and the third column is for kinesthetic learners.
    • It’s fun to see what types of activities your students choose because it will help you understand what their preferred learning styles are!
