This morning our class made classroom expectations. All of the expectations had to do with being responsible, being respectful, etc. After making these expectations I gave the students a paper chain challenge. Each pod or island of desks made up an individual team. The rules of this challenge are listed below. At the end of the challenge each group was asked to explain their thinking behind creating their paper chains with the rest of their classmates. It was a great way for them to start to work together as teams.
Paper Chain Challenge
Materials:
1 piece of construction paper
Scissors
Glue
Rules:
Your challenge is to work with you group to build the longest paper chain using ONLY 1 piece of construction paper.
When time is called chains will be placed beside each other to determine which chain is the longest.
Extra paper or replacement pieces will not be provided, so plan carefully before you begin cutting.
You will be allowed 30 minutes to build your chain.
