Today the first grade teacher out together a variety if challenges for students, to make our last afternoon before vacation fun filled. Each challenge asked students to do a novel activity, problem solve and challenged everyone in different ways than our typical class work. Here is a peek at our afternoon:
The spaghetti noodle challenge: holding a piece of spaghetti in their mouth, students has to spear as many penne pasta as they could.
The chopstick challenge: using pencils as chopsticks, students had to see how many candy hearts they could transfer between plates in one minute.
Cotton ball race: students blew a cotton ball across a table to be the first to cross the finish line.
Solo cup stack: students given 15 cups and it was a race to see who could make a tower.
Candy heart towers: students tried to build the tallest tower out of candy hearts.
Balloon toss: students had to be the last one keeping their balloon in the air (with one hand).
Skittle shuffle: students use a straw and try to use suction to move skittles from one plate to another.
Cereal box puzzles:
Students were challenged to put together a 16 piece puzzle to make the front of a Cheerios box---harder than it looks!! At the end we did a challenge to see who could put the full puzzle together because a minute was not long enough.
