Subject: RE: fun end of the year activity for ALL ages
This looks like much more fun than what I was planning (a Spelling Bee).
I am pasting another activity that can be done PRIOR to this (about
following directions) - I was planning on doing it anyway, but since this
fun activity is about following directions, also, I thought it appropriate
to share.
I can't remember where I got it from (the internet someplace).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Directions: You have a 5 minute time limit to complete the parts of this
test. Carefully read all of the parts of the test before doing anything. In
order to ensure the accuracy of this exam, you should not use more than the
allotted time of 5 minutes. You may NOT speak with anyone during the test.
Good Luck!!
You may begin now!!
1. Write today's date--month-day-year in the top right hand corner of your
test paper.
2. Write the answer to the following multiplication problem directly
underneath the date on your test paper--6 X 5 = ?
3. Write the name of the month that begins with the letter "D" in the top
left hand corner of your test paper.
4. Add 15 to the answer you got in part #2, and write this new total
directly underneath your answer for part #3.
5. In the lower left hand corner of your test paper, write the names of
your favorite singer and your favorite group.
6. Just above your answer to part #5, write "This test is very easy."
7. In the lower right hand corner of your test paper, draw a rectangle and
inside the rectangle draw a five pointed star. The size of these drawings is
not important.
8. Directly above your answer to part #7, draw a row of three small
circles. Once again, size is not important.
9. Write the name of the first president of the United States on the back
of your test paper anywhere you choose. If you don't know who this is, write
your own name instead.
10.Write the name of any country that begins with the letter "I" directly
underneath you answer to part #2.
11. Take the number of dwarfs in the Snow White story and add it to the
number of bears in the Goldilocks story. Divide by 2. Write this total in
the approximate center of your test paper.
12. Think of a number between 1 and 50. Double that number. Add 20.
Add 6. Subtract 17. Subtract 9. Divide by 2. Write this number on your
test
paper directly underneath your answer to part #11.
13. Now that you have carefully read all of the parts so far, and you have
not carried out any of the actual work, skip the next 2 parts and go back
and only complete part #3.
14. The name of the first president of the United States is George
Washington. He was president from 1789 until 1797. Add the 2 dates together
to see if the total is less than 5000.
15. You should not be reading the end of the exam before the beginning of
the exam, but now that you are here, you have just wasted some of the time
you may need to complete the test.

Here is a nice idea which worked wornderfully today as a last
lesson for a 5 point 10th grade. It may sound silly but the kids loved it
!!!
(I will do it with my 9th graders next week).
You write a task they have to complete in English on a slip of paper
and put it in a balloon and blow it up. They have to pop the balloon
and carry out the task. Some of the tasks are individual while others
are in pairs or more. All you have to do is type or write the slips,
cut them up and get someone in your family to help you put them in the
balloon and blow them up. (I do this the night before)
