Product Description
From the introduction: Why play games? We all know that even great teachers have a very hard time teaching effectively in the face of severe social problems, in over-crowded classrooms, and without up-to-date instructional resources.

We also know, as well, many stories of children in the most adverse circumstances who nevertheless achieve great learning. No doubt, they often do so with the inspiration of a great teacher, but no one can deny those extraordinary children the credit for finding within themselves the motivation that sustains the spark of inspiration.

These learning games will help teachers find games that will make students more open to the love of learning. 'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink' - is a quote teachers are often fond of. With these learning games teachers can put the water in a gorgeous goblet and offer the horse a straw.

Activities include: Math Madness, Rewriting History, Musical Spelling Words, Wacky Word Play, Math Bingo, Math Fact War, Scholarly Squares, Spelling Takes A Hit, The Dictionary Game, Show Me The Money, and Human Body Simon Says.
