How To Set Up these Context Clues Task Cards
You can choose to simply use these cards at a literacy center. If you are looking for a more active way to use these cards, we are sharing a couple ideas below.
As a Scoot Game
- Place a card at each students’ seat.
- Students will each receive a recording page. You might want to also have them use a clip board.
- Students start with the card at their seat.
- Say scoot when you are ready for students to switch spots.
- The students will rotate and move on to the next card.
Hint – we like to make sure students know the path before they begin!
As a Write the Room Game
- Instead of playing this as a scoot game, you could also make it a write the room type of activity.
- Place the cards throughout the room and your students can travel around the room during class to find each card.
- This is a good alternative to a traditional scoot game because students will not feel rushed to complete each problem.
An answer key is provided for easy grading purposes or if you want your students to self-check.
Many teachers use Scoot games as a review for an assessment, so students can check their answers to determine if they need additional practice or support before the assessment.
