5th Grade Creates Board Games

/in /by

Over the past few weeks, the two 5th grade classes have been bringing reading to life.  Working in pairs, students created board games that were based on stories they read.  Their instructions for this project included creating a game board that depicted the setting of the story, game pieces that would represent the characters, and a game ending that would coincide with the conclusion of the book.  The rest was up to the students’ imagination.

Today, the 4th grade classes came up to the 5th grade classrooms to play the various games with their creators.   Kudos to all our 5th grade students on the tremendous job they did with this assignment!
