Let's be Franco

Are you ready for game time? This football classroom transformation was perfect after the Super Bowl with my 5th graders! We reviewed adding and subtracting decimals using a concession stand menu and the scavenger hunt!

Let's Decorate!
First, to decorate the classroom for the transformation, I headed to Dollar Tree! I picked up the plates and a few little footballs to decorate. The green paper on the tables is bulletin board paper that the school provides. I also asked the students if they had any football gear. A student brought in his helmet and another brought in a football. It was pretty neat when it all came together and I spent less than $5!

Set Up Time
I printed the scavenger hunt task cards and concession menu. I taped the task cards under the plates to add a little more challenge to the scavenger hunt. So, the students walked in and it looked like they were going to have a snack.... not so much ;).

I copied the recording sheet and concession menu for each student. They could start with any task card letter because the scavenger hunt makes a loop. They solved the adding and subtracting decimals math problem and then looked for their answer on the top of another card.

There are two tracks or loops that the students could be on. I made two so the students didn't run into each other or get bottle necked at a certain question. Students have to complete 10 word problems in order to complete their track!

If students finished early, I gave them a letter from the other track so they could get more practice! They had a lot of fun and requested more scavenger hunts!

To start, they had to flip over the plates to find the task cards. By the end of class, all the plates were flipped to make the answers easier to find!
