September 2019 Game Library Updates
The school year is well under way and we want to help make your classrooms that much more fun! Why not use a Goosechase Hunt to get your students up and moving!
We wanted to make this months newest game updates focussed on some beginning of the year events! Going back to school means getting back into the routines that go with it! Why not practice and become familiar with these routines in a fun and engaging way? Get your students back into gear by completing a Rules & Expectations Scavenger Hunt! Plus, we know that many of you will be opening up your classroom doors to parents and guardiens! You can introduce them to the way in which your students learn by having them particiapte in a scavenger hunt during your school's Open House! Along with rules and expectations, we also need to review some safety procedures! Participate in our School Safety Hunt to remind your students about the importance of safety in the building! Finally, we had to add a couple games that can be helpful in your every day classroom life! Give students a chance to get up and out of their seats earning points when playing along with either our Math Operations or Library Exploration games! Take a look below to read more about each game and get a copy for yourself!
