If You're a "Mad Monkey" and You Know it...

Now that I have an office with a SMART Board, I have been experimenting with all of the special features. I found "word dice," which I instantly knew would be perfect for both small groups and classroom lessons.

I decided to create dice that students could use to roleplay various feelings. So, students go up to the SMART Board, tap the dice, and act out the animal and feeling they are given. For example, a student may have to act out a mad cat or a sad bear.

This is a simple activity that would be great at the beginning of a lesson to grab their attention or at the end of a lesson to practice what they have learned.

If you have access to a SMART Board, please feel free to download my roleplay dice (below). If not, you can easily create your own or use regular dice with a key (that explains what each number stands for).

Thanks for all of your great posts! I used this instead as a tool for my guidance lesson on problem-solving. I stuck different situations on the dice that they will have to act out a solution to. (The two dice might say: My mom...disagreed. My friend...ignored me. etc.)

Thank you, April! :)

That sounds like an AMAZING idea! Do you have the SMARTboard file? If so, would you be willing to share it with just me or even my readers? I'd definitely give you credit for it!
