End of the Year and Summertime FUN!
School doesn’t end until mid-June in my neck of the woods, but I know some of you are done in May. If you are looking for ideas to help you in those last days, you have come to the right place.
“Would You Rather”, “This or That” – Whatever you call this game, your students will love it!
You’ll love the:
- Respectful Discussion & Debate
- Critical thinking skills
- Communicating thoughts and ideas
- Defending thoughts and opinions
- Being open to new perspectives
- Flexibility in thinking
- Adopting a personal point of view
Would You Rather Questions make terrific discussion starters or writing prompts. You can get a free version sent to your email by clicking here.

There are so many reasons to spend some time reflecting on the school year. Here are just a few:
- Reflection questions help to solidify significant events and to create life-long memories.
- Reflection questions are a great way to self-evaluate, which can lead to making better choices in the future.
- Reflections questions can build self-esteem when remembering things that went well.
- Reflection questions make great conversation starters or journal prompts.
Great idea for a Link up! I'll be back later this weekend to share my idea! Thanks for hosting. 🙂

Thank you for bringing so much positivity into the world. You rock. PS My youngest son has your hair.
Oops! I posted two links. Soooo sorry, I should have read your rules a little closer. You can delete one if you would like. I have two things going on my blog that I thought were perfect for end of year, but I understand now I didn't follow the rules! My sincerest apologies!
