Collaborative squiggle stories allow students to create an image from a squiggle then write part of a story to go with it. Groups rotate to continue the story on the next papers. #scflta2023@amandaminnillo
Why draw? Lower affective filter, increased emotional intelligence, humor and creativity, notice language gaps, team bonding and more! #sclfta2023@amandaminnillo
Tape around a marker with extensions for students to hold- work together in groups to try to draw an image- just moving the tape and not touching the marker. Great TL activity or even ice breaker! #scflta2023@amandaminnillo

Letβs Doodle - began with a doodle, then turned 3 of them into something that represents you, personality and/or likes/dislikes. Explain to a group. #scflta2023@amandaminnillo
Kabum- game of luck where teams select a number and answer the question for that number. Some boxes have Kabum though which means they lose all their points! #scflta2023@JenniferDwight_
More Google Slides activity ideas: listening to a description of Mr Potato Head and trying to add the right features, and a Guess Who digital version. #scflta2023@JenniferDwight_
Spanish teachers: Day of the Dead altars using Google slides. Have image banks of items that they can pull from slides as options to build their altars. #scflta2023@JenniferDwight_
