CHICKEN COOP MATH GAME



Since you are writing about chickens this week, I thought it would be fun to play a chicken game! Use what you know about 100 and fractions to play this online game. Here is the link to the PBS kids website to play the game:

HOW TO MAKE A GAME OF CHECKERS





You will need:

* paper, scissors, ruler, pencil, crayon, aluminum foil and cardboard

What to do:

Make the checkerboard

* Draw a grid of  64 squares using a ruler and a pencil. To fit on a regular sized piece of paper, the sides of the squares must be 2 and a half cm long.
* Draw the vertical lines and then the horizontal lines. Cut the extra paper off to make the big square checkerboard.
* Using a crayon (or marker or pencil crayon) colour in every other square.

Make the game pieces

* Make 12 small balls of aluminum foil for the first player.
* Make 12 small circles of cardboard for the second player. (I traced the end of a glue stick for the circle shape.)

*** You can use anything for the game pieces, for example: dried beans, plastic bottle caps or beads.

Have fun playing Checkers using your very own homemade checkerboard!
