First Grade Theory terms game

This was a game I played with both my First Grade and Second Grade Theory classes this year.

How to play:-

  1. Print out, cut and laminate the Crazy Quotes and the level of Theory Italian Terms you want.
  2. Place the theory terms and Crazy Quotes face down in a pile.  Students to choose one of each.
  3. Students read out the Crazy Quote in the way the Theory Term tells them to ie Cantabile; they would read out their quote ‘in a singing style’ and the other students have to guess what their term is.
  4. Keep going through cards until your time limit is up (if you choose to set a time limit) or you run out of cards.

I love this game.  It tests their knowledge of the terms, as the English definition isn’t there.  Only the Italian ones.
