Looking for a fun little game to keep in your back pocket for those days when you have seven random minutes left at the end of class? Let me introduce you to the Game of Sim (invented by Gustavus J. Simmons) that involves drawing lines and avoiding triangles!

Trying to clear out my backlog of pentominoes puzzles that I haven't shared yet so I can create some sort of pentominoes bingo game for students to participate in throughout the year.

Up today:
Pentominoes Goose Puzzle

I finally jumped on the ultimate tic tac toe bandwagon at the end of last school year. Today on my blog, I shared a free pdf template I made for my students to use with dry erase pockets.

For the longest time, I just thought this was a super long game of regular tic tac toe. I had no idea that each person's move is influenced by where the previous person played. It adds such a fun extra level of strategy and logic!

FYI: This would make a great first week of school activity for those who are starting to plan for back to school.
