1-2-3 Come Do Some Fun Football Activities With Me.

I discovered long ago,that if I could incorporate a theme of something that was popular with my students, I'd grab and hold their attention.  It seemed that my little guys had more difficulty focussing than the girls did, so I often offered choices when I could. 

Because sports was always a "hot button" and 'tis the season for the start of football, I decided to dream up some activities with a football theme.

football activities, word family activities, common core football, ick word family activities, all word family activities, word family cards, fall games, fall centers, daily 5 for fall, word work for fall,alphabetizing worksheets, I thought it would be fun to do something with the -all family of words and make a game of it. 

Students choose teams and then work either independently or with their group, to think of as many -all words before the timer rings.  Each word is worth 1 point.

A field goal = 3 points for 3 words. i.e. One team thought of 11 words.  They scored 1 touchdown (7) and 1 field goal (3) and had 1 extra point left.

There are blank templates, so you can program other word families, if you'd like to keep this idea going. 

After I got the -all word family football packet done, I wanted to make Bingo cards as another way to review the words. 

However, I had less than 24 words and could not make a Bingo card, so I thought I'd add the -ick word family to the football packet, because you kick a football.
