Outdoor math review: bean bag addition!

June 2, 2019

Bean bag addition is a great outdoor game to play this summer! When the sun is shining and it’s not too hot, I love getting students outdoors to review. This game does just that.

All you need to play this game is:

– some outdoor space

– sidewalk chalk

– and bean bags

 

I grabbed mine off amazon because I liked that there were 4 red and 4 blue so I could easily split students into two teams. You can see those below (please note, this is an affiliate link):

 

You can see how to play this game as well as some ideas for differentiation in the video below:

  • I love the sight word treasure hunt, I’m going to use it tomorrow in my Guided Reading Groups.
    Thanks

  • Hi Susan – great games that you come up with. This would also be great if you played first to 100, or any other number – that way they have to keep a running total.
