Year 5- Review Game!

Year 5
Review Game

I made huge dice (about a foot on each edge)

Tornado game
The goal is to build as many houses as possible, tornados will blow your house away, and your team will have to start over ( a house is a pentagon, and each correct answer gets 1 side of the pentagon).
I will have a dice with 5 topics (Introductions, Emotions, Numbers, Foods, Sports) and one side with a tornado on it.
One member of their team will come up and roll the die if they roll, foods, or sports, I will show them a card from that topic, and they must form a sentence (example: I like Baseball or Do you like football?), They will have 30 seconds to talk to their team, and then they must say the sentence aloud.
If they roll a die and it lands on an emotion, I will ask How are you?, then show them a flashcard, They must say I’m _____(ß Emotion on flashcard).
If they roll numbers, I will say a number out loud, and they must write the number on the board . If they roll introductions, they must say Hello, My name is _____ I like_____
If they roll a tornado I will ask them a question, (Do you like soccer? How many fingers do you have? What is your name?) They have 30 seconds to talk to their team and answer the question. If their team gets it right they get to send the tornado to another team, and blow down their house. If the first team gets it wrong, the tornado will blow down their house and they will have to start over.
After a team gets 1 full house, that house takes two blows from a tornado to get knocked down.

Year 5
Summer games/review

Kitty in the Corner (Reviews: What do you like?  I don’t like _____”)
I will put a flash card in each corner of the room. The students must choose which corner they want to go to. Once all the students are in their chosen corners, I will draw a card out of a hat. The students must all ask together “What do you like?” I will say “I don’t like _____”. All the students in the corner I have chosen must sit down, they are out. Students must change corners, I will then draw another card, and the students in that corner will be out. The game will continue until there is a champion.

Art Critic (Reviews: vocabulary)
5 students will be chosen to be judges, they will go to the back of the class, they must face the back wall. They are not allowed to know who the artists are.
3 artists will be chosen, their identity must remain a secret. They will each be given space on the chalkboard to draw. I will tell them what to draw, and then start the timer, they only get 10 seconds to draw. When the time is up all the artists must go sit back down, the judges will then be given 10 seconds to choose their favorite drawing. When they have chosen, They will say “I like #”. The student of the chosen picture is the winner, they get to wear the winner hat, and choose 4 people to be the judge with them (2 girls 2 boys). Many rounds can be played.
