Being a graduate teacher, I was looking for something to help out on days like at the end of term, or for emergency extras. This book helped a lot. I was able to find something in here for Year 7 through to Year 10. The best part was the spelling. I'm in Australia, so I was a bit hesitant on buying a book from the US, as often the spelling is quite different. But there were only one or two activities that I would need to change if I wanted to use them. A very handy book, and easy to photocopy.
If you're a teacher, you know that there are days when you're called out of your class for a meeting or training or something. Usually on those days, you'll get a substitute...and (unfortunate, but true) your sub will probably misread your lesson plans or just not do them. At any rate, if the sub does one or the other, these are good backup plans to use just in case. They may not focus on the common core, but they are content-specific and allow students to practice practical skills related to the English Language Arts.
I bought this book after receiving a copy of an activity in the book from a friend. There are many activities that can be fun for English students-when you just need a day that is a little bit of a break without wasting instructional time.The games are quite challenging-sometimes they're quite hard. I teach all grades of high school English, and all of the games seem appropriate for all four grade levels.These could be used for warm-ups too.
Do you ever wonder WHAT to do on the day before a holiday or extended break? This book has the answer...and so much more. The students perceive all of the activities as "games" and yet they are still learning, too! Who could ask for anything more?
This book has many nice exercises/worksheets, however, I was looking for language based games that I could pay with a group of home schoolers.
Not games but work sheets for students in middle school. Too hard for years 6 and 7. More suited for years 8 and 9. Good ideas provided.
