The question gets students thinking about what the class will be about. Entry tickets allow the teacher to assess what the students are thinking and answer questions that the students have. Students enjoy entry tickets because they can write their thoughts down and get immediate teacher feedback. There are samples of entry ticket templates in Microsoft Word, Google Doc and Forms. Grade levels include elementary or secondary, and they are availale in Spanish.

Use the game to help students practice reading fluency by having them follow along with the tongue twisters and repeat the words out loud. Teachers can use this game to expand students' vocabulary by discussing new words and their meanings after each round. Students can play the game in small groups, taking turns reading the tongue twisters aloud encouraging teamwork, listening skills, and collaborative learning while having fun with language.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
After reading Green Eggs and Ham, students can play the game to reinforce key story elements like the characters, setting, and plot. Use the game as a group activity where students work together to navigate the maze. This encourages teamwork and helps develop problem-solving skills as students discuss strategies for overcoming obstacles and completing the maze. Teachers can extend the lesson by asking students to write or share what they would do if they were in Sam-I-Am's shoes.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
