68 degrees

Another rousing game of the Adjective Game today. It amazes me how into it these kids get. 

Huggable, kissable, lovable, breakable, catchable all made an appearance again, along with weird and tearable. The two items we were describing were a laptop and a sticky tab (a translucent, sticky bookmark that is movable, portable, and cyan). 

They wanted to do two rounds, but we only had time for a round and a half before lunch, so we saved their second list of words to read at the end of the day. While they were doing the challenge in the morning, one of the boys asked me what temperature it was in our classroom. 68 degrees. I didn't think anything of it until they read aloud their words, "room temperature..." Okay, technically the object is room temperature. "...68 degrees..." Yes, I suppose that would be another way to describe it. The girls were not pleased about that one, but really, it's true! You gotta give them points for creativity. 

The boys' team won by one point 30 to 29. Everyone agreed we need to make different teams for next time. Each team has their own strategy for winning and they want to shake things up!
