Time yourself reading a recipe on the back of a can or box in the pantry. Read it again to see if you can get faster without as many mistakes!  WRITING: Think about a book you read recently. Write a summary of the story using 30 words or less!   

From a book you’ve read or a movie you’ve seen, describe the main character using 3 character traits (personality descriptions). Explain what the character DID, SAID, or THOUGHT to make you describe them how you did.  WRITING:  Write a detailed description of your DREAM bedroom.  Use as many adjectives (describing words) as possible.   

Describe something you can see from your window outside and describe it using 3 different types of figurative language.  [Figurative Language: ex: simile [uses like or as to compare -ex: the cat was as crazy as a June bug], metaphor [just says it is something else – ex: the hero was a sign of hope] , hyperbole [exaggeration – she was 100 feet tall], personification [using human verbs for objects or animals – ex: the dog wore a smile; the fog curled up around the house)]  WRITING: Write an acrostic poem using any object in your house. Then, with each letter start a sentence or word ABOUT the object with that letter.  Ex: fork F-fun to use it with spaghetti O- open my mouth wide R- rarely has more than 4 tines K- kitchen utensil 

From a book you’ve read or movie you’ve watched, write the story elements from it.    [Story Elements: characters, setting (time & place), problem, solution]   WRITING: Imagine you received a letter in the mail from someone famous (or someone you’ve never met) and they wanted to spend the day with you. Write the letter. Who is it from? What does it say? 

 

Think about a meal you ate recently. Use the 5 senses to describe it with really vibrant words!  [5 Senses: seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting, hearing]    WRITING: For a meal that you watched being prepared OR helped make, write the steps in order that you took in complete sentences. (ex: canned soup – First, open the can with a can opener. Be careful not to cut yourself on the lid. Next, pour out the soup into a pot. Carefully, scrape out the bits on the sides so you don’t waste any!)

Math

Activities can be adjusted to

fit different grade levels

Math problem:   Count the number of windows in your house. Add that to the number of lights/lamps. Then, multiply that by 2.  Finally, multiply that number by 8!  

 *vary the problem above using different objects in your house! (ex: instead of windows and lights/lamps, use pillows or shoes or tables… use your imagination!) 

Flash Cards  Create multiplication fact cards and test yourself for the answer.  *write the problem on one side (ex: 8 x 2) and the answer on the other (ex: 16) 

Subtraction Game  With a deck of cards, draw 4 cards and put them in a line to make the largest number you can.    Then draw 4 more cards to make the smallest number you can.    Finally, subtract the smallest number from the biggest number to find the difference.  Repeat! *Use dice to roll instead, if you don’t have cards. 

Division Game  With a deck of cards, draw 3 cards. Write that 3-digit number down as your dividend.  (ex: you drew 5, 3, and 8)  Then, draw 1 more card for your divisor. (ex: you drew a 2)  Finally, write it as a division problem and solve! (538 ÷ 2)  Repeat! *Use a dice to roll numbers instead, if you don’t have cards. 

The Price is Right  Imagine you are having a party for your classmates of 24 people.  You have $100 and can choose 5 things for the party (chips, drinks, cookies, etc.).   Use a newspaper or store flyer to find items you’d like to buy. Add up the items to see how much you will spend.   Then, subtract from $100 to see how much you have left to spend.  *Have an adult help make up a price of items if you don’t have a newspaper or flyer.  Vary the activity by using your imagination with different items or different circumstances! (ex: Back to school list, dinner party, etc)

K-2nd

Shape SearchGo looking through the house to find

items representing these shapes: circle, square, rectangle, rhombus, octagon,

hexagon, cube, trapezoid, cone,

cylinder

What’s Longer?Using a string, yarn, or ruler, measure the following items: tv, phone, tablet, shoe,

frame. Now write the order of the measured items on paper from longest to shortest. You can change out

items as needed based on what you

have at home.

Letters on a PlateIf you have a paper

plate, write the alphabet around the edge of the plate. Or

you can write the letters with different

color crayons or pencils on paper. Use the letters to practice your ABCs by starting

in different spots.

Make a BagGet a paper sack,

items that begin with the letter D to place

inside. Show the items to an adult or older sibling. After replacing all of the items, repeat the

3rd – 5th Math tasks using dominoes:

K-3rd Math tasks using a deck of cards or dice:Card Sort1. Players in groups of 2 or individually.2. Deck of cards. 3. Players split a deck of cards or individual use all cards.4. Use the full deck of cards to sort cards by their attributes:

a. Color b. Suitc. Number

Place Value Number Battle 1. Players in groups of 22. Deck of cards. Remove face cards and 10s.3. Ace worth 14. Players split a deck of cards and simultaneously flip over their top

three cards to create a three-digit number.5. Players may place the cards in any position of the number they wish.6. The highest number wins all six cards.7. You can increase the number of cards flipped to work with higher

numbers.Addition or Multiplication Battle 1. Players in groups of 22. Deck of cards. Face cards = ten, Ace 1 or 103. Players split a deck of cards and simultaneously flip over their first

two cards.4. Players total the sum of the two cards (either adding or multiplying

decide on operation before game begins).5. The highest number wins all cards.6. If sum is equal the cards go into separate stack in the middle. The

winner of the next battle gets the cards in the middle and the battle cards.

Advanced Addition Number Battle 1. Players in groups of 22. Deck of cards. Ace=11, Jack =12, Queen=13, King =143. Players split a deck of cards and simultaneously flip over their top

three (or four) cards.4. The highest sum wins all six (or eight) cards.5. If the cards sum have the same value, the cards are placed in a

center pile.6. The next hand is played normally and the winner of that battle

takes the pile in the center as well.Subtraction Number Battle 1. Players in groups of 22. Deck of cards. Face cards = ten, Ace 1 or 103. Players split a deck of cards and simultaneously flip over their first

two cards.4. Players subtract the smaller number from the larger number.5. The player with the greatest difference wins all four cards.6. If sum is equal the cards go into separate stack in the middle. The

winner of the next battle gets the cards in the middle and the battle cards.

I Spy Sums1. Players in groups of 2 or more2. Deck of cards. Ace=11, Jack =12, Queen=13, King =143. Deal out entire deck of cards face up in a 13x4 array.4. One player challenges the other player to find two cards next to

each other, either vertically or horizontally, that add to make a number by saying, “I spy two cards with a sum of 7.”

5. The other player then looks for two cards that add to make the sum then, picks this pair up and any other pairs that add to make the stated sum.

Closest to 100 1. Players 2 2. Materials: 2 dice, 120 chart (optional), scratch paper 3. How to Play: Roll two dice and create a 2- digit number. This could

make 53 or 35. Now, mentally find the difference between the 2- digit number and 100.

4. One way to find the difference is to count up. For example, if a number rolled is 53, count up by 10s and then add the 1s to get to 100. 53 63 73 83 93 100 53 is 47 from 100

5. For each round, the score is the difference from 100. The player with a score closest to 100 after 5 rounds wins.

Make 101. Players 2 2. Materials: 1 or 2 dice, scratch paper 3. One die version: One die is rolled. Players try to find what number

needs to be added to make ten. The number needed to make ten becomes the player’s score for that round. If a 3 is rolled, then a player would say 7 to make a 10 and their score is 7.

4. Two dice version: Two dice are rolled. Players must add or subtract to make a ten. Two 6 are rolled. 6 + 6 = 12 so 12 – 2 = 10 so 2 is the score.

Multi-Digit Multiplication Number Battle1. Players in groups of 2. Face cards and 10s removed.2. Players split a deck of cards and simultaneously flip over their top

three (or four) cards.3. Make the two cards a 2-digit number and then multiply by the third.4. Players may move the cards and place in any position of the number

they wish.5. The player with the highest product wins all six (or eight) cards. 6. You can increase the number of cards flipped if you are working on

larger numbers.
