Monster Themed I Have...Who Has Game Template * Editable

(0)
This is a monster themed I Have...Who Has Game Template. You use this template to type in your own content and print the game. This is an editable pdf if you have Adobe Acrobat Professional. Or, you may choose to simply print and write on the cards. I've included instructions how to type on the cards yourself, using Adobe Acrobat Professional, to make your own games. There are 8 different monster cards to make the game as a loop, where it does not matter who starts. However, I did include a START and END card if you wish to format your game in that way. One set of cards has color monster clip art on a white background for economical printing. The second set of cards is the same, but with B&W monsters for photocopying. If you need more cards, simply save this as different file names to work on. These cards are made as 1 to a full page. When printing, you can choose the option to print 4 to a page which makes these a great game size and saves ink.

Earth Day PowerPoint Poster Project

This integrated technology project will absolutely excite your elementary kiddos! Use this 8.5" x 11" PowerPoint Poster Making resource as a culmination to your own Earth Day or Save the Earth unit. I use the Super 3 format. Students use the reproducible to PLAN their poster before even touching the computer. This way you can approve their work before the computer fun begins. Then they make (DO) the poster. Finally, after they print it, they REVIEW what they liked about their poster and what they would do differently next time. I've done this project successfully with 1st grade students just beginning to learn basic computer skills. Step by step teacher directions are provided so you can break the project into simple tasks for the students. This packet includes: * Earth Day Poster Planning Sheet reproducible * Word Bank with prepopulated words * Blank Word Bank for your students to brainstorm words * 3 Sample Posters * Essential Question * I Can statements * Teacher Directions
