Winter Summarizing Card Game

Did you LOVE my New Year's Summarizing Card Game FREEBIE?!

I know my students did SO well with it that I wanted to create a follow up activity to continue to practice using “somebody-wanted-but-so-then” to summarize.  My students are learning to identify when stories have a problem and a solution they can use this strategy to retell a story!

Students can take turn picking a card from the pile.  They can read it or you can read it to them (depending on their reading levels or if you wanted to make it a complete auditory comprehension practice activity).

Once students read or listens to the card, they can use the summarizing visual to retell it!

If a student picks the “bonus turn” card, they can take an extra turn.  Once all of the cards are used, the students can add up their cards to determine the winner.  I am so surprised how into these games my students get!  They love competing!  I keep their “score” with their data on my data sheet.  They love to check to see how they doing with the game and how many right they are getting.  I love that they want to improve and better themselves!

Once the game is complete, you can use the included review worksheet to practice further.  You can also use this as a home practice sheet as well.  Students can read the passage and write their answers next to the corresponding place on the graphic organizer.

I love having similar activities over and over with different stimuli and themes so I can easily see progress.  My students love these activities and are showing such growth!  You can grab this game for yourself by visiting my TpT store by clicking HERE!
