The teacher will print
out attachment. The teacher will print the color/number key on the
board. (For example, 1=blue, 2=white, 3=green, 4=yellow, 5=black,
6=red) |
 |
The teacher will review the numbers
and the colors before beginning the activity. |
 |
The teacher will use the attachment
for the review. |
 |
The teacher will say, "Class,
what color is this?"(point to a fish). |
 |
The class will respond and the teacher
will say "correct" or "incorrect". |
 |
The teacher will continue with the
review until all the colors and the numbers have been reviewed. |
 |
The teacher will divide the class into
groups of four. |
 |
She can count one, two, three, four
as she makes the groups. There can be groups of two or three students. |
 |
The teacher says "The object
of the game is to fill your aquarium first with a fish of each color." |
 |
The teacher explains. "Each
team (group) takes a turn throwing the die. When the die falls, one
student says the number that comes up and the corresponding color."
|
 |
The teacher gives the fish to the student.
The student puts the fish in the aquarium. If the aquarium already
has the fish, the student does nothing and passes the die to the next
team. |
 |
The game continues this process until
one of the teams fills the aquarium with a fish of each color. |
 |
The teacher says, "You can’t
repeat the colors. When a group has the fish already, they pass the
die and the next team continues." |
 |
The group that has all the fish first
wins. |
 |
To conclude, the winning group recites
the colors and the numbers. |
