Today, we had a wonderful time celebrating Halloween! I love all the Halloween freebies going around, including the WONDERFUL October Fun Facts by Denise at
SUNNY DAYS. I was thinking about how to use these fun facts with my class. Somehow I got to thinking about Price Is Right and my favorite game was Punch-a-Bunch, where they punch a board and get the money that is inside. So I made my own punch-a-bunch board for my kiddos. Each student got to punch one, and inside they found candy and also a fun fact that we read to the class and discussed. It was so much fun!
To make the Punch board, I used styrofoam bowls, 2 layers of tissue paper, and tape. I taped the bowls to a science display board. It worked perfectly.
***However, if I were to do this again....I'd use the thicker Chinet brand bowls, they could be reused that way. You could of course use this idea for a review game for a test in any content area or skill.

Our school is Parkview Baptist School and is located in Baton Rouge, the capitol of Louisiana. We are celebrating our 30th birthday this year and are the largest private school (non-parochial) in the state.
We are excited about getting to know more about your class. I have a postcard exchange page on my blog and hope you visit. We have some questions for you to answer listed on that page. I will post as I receive postcards.
Looking forward to meeting you and your class,
