Description: Get a large piece of bulletin board paper and mark it off creating a 5 by 5 grid so that there are 25 squares. Laminate the grid so you can reuse it for another day. In each square, put a large Post-it® Note with the answer to a Math, Science, Social Studies, or Reading question. I usually create my questions by topic, i.e. Civil War, Geometry to review at the end of the unit. After all your answers have been placed on the grid, break your class into two teams. Give the first player of each team a fly swatter (a sanitary one) and explain the rules...1) No swatting a classmate. 2) No swatting actual flies because that's just gross. 3) The first to swat the correct answer wins a point for their team. Read off your questions and have your students swat away! The team with the most points at the end of the game win! My students love this game. They beg for it everyday and it can be adapted to any subject! You can take all the post its off at the end of the game and put them in a plastic bag to reuse again.

Description: I created a Venn Diagram including "Academics" and "Social" categories. I explained to my students that they would each have a pad of Post-It® Notes on the corner of their desk, and could write a note about any situations or questions they may encounter during the day. It really gave the students a voice.

Description: Create a wish list bulletin board for the holidays. Make a Christmas tree background and create "ornaments" with Post- it® Notes. Each ornament can have something for the classroom, such as pencils, paper, kleenex, or books. Instead of giving me a gift, when students ask what I want for christmas, I suggest that they can get an ornament off the tree and get something to help the class.
