I also use U-Know in stations or with early finishers throughout the year to spiral concepts for students. U-Know comes in MANY topics! So, once students learn the game, it will become a self-run station! U-Know is played with students matching color/number to the card the previous player put down. Once they put their card down, they must read and answer. If correct, play moves on. If incorrect, the player draws 2 new cards and play moves on. Students check answers with the included answer key. ☆ Options for Use in the Classroom ☆ Partner Game Small Groups Stations or Centers Early Finishers Test Prep or Review ☆ Perfect for: ☆ Teachers who want students to become comfortable with using games in the classroom Teachers looking for a fun and engaging game to practice specific skills Teachers looking for resources that are standards-aligned Teachers who need quality test-prep resources, center activities, practice, or review that is fun and engaging ☆ TERMS OF USE – © Fun in 5th Grade & MORE ☆ This item is a paid digital download from Fun in 5th Grade & MORE As such, it is for use in one classroom only.
