Grids
By Joy

Here are a few ideas:

1. I set up a grid system on the floor of my classroom using either masking or colorful electrical tape. We then use two dice to call the coordinates. One die has letters and the other has numbers.
I place a few small prizes like stickers, pencils, free book samples, markers etc. on the points. If someone rolls that coordinate, they get to keep the prize. The kids love playing the grid game.
2. I also make up a computer grid template on Kid Pix Deluxe Studio for my students to use. They must select certain stamps and place them inside the correct boxes on the grid. They love this!

You can have them print their projects for a grade. I use this as a work station activity/center activity.

I hope these ideas are helpful!

Happy Teaching!!
