Celebrate the season with Classroom Connections: Spring Edition! This fun, interactive, no-prep activity gets students moving, talking, and thinking while building classroom community through a friendly game of matching ideas.
Students begin by writing three answers for each spring-themed category. Then they read their answers aloud, comparing their answers with classmates. Every time another student has one of the same answers, they add a tally mark. The student with the most matching answers wins!
With categories focused on spring weather, plants, animals, outdoor activities, and seasonal changes, this activity encourages students to think creatively while discovering how much they have in common with their classmates.
