Are you ready for the big game?

If you're like me, you're taking advantage of the enthusiasm for the big game coming up!

When children are excited about something, I always try to bring it into the classroom when I can. Books are a great place to start. (Click each image for a link to Amazon.)

                                            

There's a ton of kid-related Super Bowl videos on YouTube. Just google "Super Bowl for Kids!"

Here's one I found. The commercials are often the best part of the Super Bowl. I'm thinking I might have the children vote on their favorite. then make a graph of the voting.

I also have a couple of "twin" football BINGO games. This math game practices adding and subtracting tens.
