Hi all!
Ok, question... before I go and spend hours creating review questions for Volumes 1 & 2, has anyone actually done this and wouldn't mind sharing? I thought I'd ask before I go and "reinvent the wheel" so to speak... :)
I'm thinking of creating a "homeschool game" that I can use for review and just keep adding to it. I was thinking I'd use a gameboard we already have, like Candyland (who doesn't have that one??) or Chutes & Ladders, and then use question cards I create from all our subjects (FIAR, Math, Spanish, etc.) To move, I'll have them roll two dice and add or subtract the numbers to find the total they should move (or you could do adding doubles, multiplying, dividing, or whatever you were working on at the time in Math). Once they get to a space, they pick a question and answer it. If they get it right, they can move ahead another space, and pick another card. If they get it right, move ahead again or something. I thought I'd print the questions on differnet colored cardstock (Story questions on blue, Math on green, spanish on yellow, FIAR on pink, etc.). Maybe some of the story cards can be to act out a story and see if we can guess what it is. Other questions can have them drawing a picture so we can guess... kinda like cranium. I'm still in the game-designing phase, so any advice or ideas you all have would be great! If any of you are interested, we can share review question cards as we go along to make things easier for all of us! What do you think?
Have a WONDERFUL day!
