Worksheet, sentence review, twinkle.A song the students lost their minds overPeriod 2 - spy game.Period 3 - Fill in the blank. They write in their notebooks. I have them trade with their partner before I reveal the answer so no cheating. Each slide gets points. Points get higher as the slides get harder.Connect 4 (Stolen template, credits to the original!) I do boys v girls and the whole class asks "What will you do this summer?" and one student answers.Period 4 - Reading race game. I play in teams of 2. They start on opposite ends and read it up as fast as they can. When they meet, they play rock paper scissors. Winner keeps going and loser goes all the way to where they started, switching partners. So when one person loses, their partner takes over for them. They win when they get all the way to the end.Also level reading.Period 5 - Sleeping elephants (stolen template, credit to the original)Period 5 or 6 - Speaking relay. The students go down the line to ask and answer, "What will you do this summer?"/"I will ____." Make sure the students know what they're supposed to say. They are timed with one practice round and one real round. They compete against the other 5th grade classes. I like to do this a couple times each semester, and it gets faster each time.
