Sorry! Thought this was already up!!

  • Story: I Lost My Tooth (part 2)
  • Writing: Write a letter to a friend in the class. What would you do if you had a playdate? Draw a picture of what you would do and write a sentence or two to match it!
  • Minute to Win it!:

SUCK IT UP:

You will need: 1 straw, 2 plates, 25 skittles or chocolate M&M’s or smarties

Players place a straw in their mouth and use suction to transfer a pile of 25 M&M’s from one plate to another in under one minute. Only one hand may be used to hold the straw. Everyone gets to eat their candy when the round is finished! This game also works well with 3 players competing in each round. How fast can you do it? Can you do it faster than me? Can you do it in under a minute?

  • Math: Snap! This was one of my favourite games to play as a child. We laughed a lot playing this game 🙂

HOW TO PLAY

Number of Players: 2+

Objective: To win all of the cards.

Deal: The cards are dealt one at a time face down to each player until all the cards have been dealt.

Playing: The first player flips over their top card, making a new pile of cards face up. Going clockwise, the next player does the same thing until all players have done so.

When a card is turned over that matches a card already face up on another player’s pile, the first person to notice the matched cards yells out “Snap” and wins both piles of cards. Add these cards to the bottom of your face-down pile.

If two players yell “Snap” at the same time, the two piles are combined and placed in the center face up. These cards are now the Snap Pot. If at any time, a player sees a card that matches the card on the top of the Snap Pot pile, they call out “Snap Pot” and win all of those cards.

If a player runs out of cards in their face-down pile, the cards in the face-up pile are turned over and the player continues.

Winner: The winner is the person who has all of the cards at the end.
