End of Year Activity

Keep those kiddos busy with a mystery picture review.  That last week of school can be exhausting with all of the anticipation of summer just around the corner.  Our school is in festivity mode with picnics, field days, end of year field trips, student recognition ceremonies among other activities.  In my class, I settle everyone down with my figurative language and parts of speech mystery pictures.  They are an awesome review, and the kids work peacefully trying to figure out what the picture will be.  Here is what it will look like when you are done.

Need a Fun Way to Practice Possessive and Plural Nouns or Homonyms - Use a Mystery Picture!

This is such a great way for students to review.  They love the friendliness of the activity so much that it doesn't feel like they are doing school work.  Students will be engaged as they work alone or together feeling like they are solving a puzzle or working on their creation.  At the end, they know they have the answers correct when they see their picture.  This is a great way to engage students in a mini-lesson or just to have them wind down after a big unit.  My middle school students love these.

Review Parts of Speech

Reviewing Parts of Speech can be fun using task cards and mystery pictures.  Students can interact and be actively engaged as they determine the parts of speech of words in sentences.  Students love these types of activities.  They are different than just ordinary worksheets because it feels more like playing a game or solving a puzzle.  Here is a sample from my latest products.
