Estimated Time: 20-30 minutes
Description: Pattern recognition is an important ability, frequently evaluated on state standardized tests—and IQ tests. Multicolored Post-it® Notes help students practice! The teacher (or another student) sets up a pattern. Below the pattern, Post-its of each color become the multiple choices. The student selects Post-it that should come next in the pattern.

Description: Where does the apostrophe go? For many students, it's an eternal mystery. Post-it® Notes make it fun to practice! Write one letter on each Post-it. Write a giant apostrophe on one Post-it. Write (or say) the prompt: "the shoes of the girl," for example. Students place the apostrophe before or after the S. (in this case, before.) As a variation, you can give each student only 2 Post-its, the apostrophe and the S. This conserves Post-its and lets students focus on the important element: the S.
