Family Fun

This week we are going to play a game that is a spin-off of Family Fued in order to review our program songs. The primary will be divided into 2 "families." A member of each team will come up and stand on opposite ends of a table and will use a fly swatter to buzz in. I will ask 8 questions about the 2 program songs we have been learning.

When the children think they know the right answer, they will buzz in. The first to buzz in will have the chance to answer the question. If they answer correctly, they will receive 1 point for their team. If they answer incorrectly, the other team will have a chance to steal if they can answer the question correctly. After each round, everyone will sing a verse in the song. Whichever team sings the best earns a bonus point!

Reflection

I was very satisfied with how this game turned out. The kids were captivated by the fly swatters. Everyone wanted a turn! The bonus points were also great motivators to get the kids to sing even if they were struggling with the words. I would definitely recommend this activity!
