Love the Ideas
By Phyllis43

I used the Theme Survivior in my classroom a couple of years ago and plan to use it next year. I'm a middle school teacher and used it for discipline,attendance,challenges etc. Points were given for perfect attendance/tardies
deducted points for each team Participation of all members in the team earned points and Challenges- quizes over the weeks content in Math (since I teach Math). I actually had teams randomly selected then the teams randomly selected the color of their team by the bandanas tied to the desks representing each different tribe..cute ones at Michaels! Team names were created by the Teams

and at the end of 6 weeks we then randomly selected new tribes and started over. I'm always looking for more ideas to incorporate into the classroom. My past students come by to ask what Theme I'm doing this year, seeing as they liked the Survivor Theme made me decide to do it again. Any student off task or not working with their Team was kicked off the island/Team for the day and sent to a separate desk/island to do their work.

I hope to get more ideas and have enjoyed reading the ones on this site.

Thanks
