Bored students are a recipe for disaster, and kids are never bored more than when the work is done and they still have time to fill before they head to recess, lunch, or specials. Use those five minutes of extra space to engage students with games that expand their minds! This desert island game from @mrs.b.tv is sure to get your students thinking. Here's how to play.

Students definitely love this game, but teachers love it too because of all the brain power required to play. When kids play, they use their abstract knowledge and thinking skills to not only come up with an item, but to also consider what the rule might be. Students who can solve simple problems like this in the classroom are also better able to apply their problem-solving skills to other areas of their life. It's a win-win for everyone!
