In this reading game, students will jump a character as it runs through an obstacle course.  If the student misses a jump, a text structure reading question will appear.  If the student answers the question correctly he/she will be able to continue.  The question is missed, the character loses a try.  Three tries lost, ends the game. After every mile the speed increases.  The goal is to run 10 miles without missing three questions. Structures asked about are: Sequence, Compare and Contrast, Problem/Solution, Cause/Effect, Description, Chronology/Timeline

In this game, students will read a sentence with missing words and then find the correct item that matches what belongs in the space. As students get better and move up levels, strange critters begin to chase after them.  Options to play are, fact and opinion, context clues, drawing conclusions, and 1-4 syllable words.

Students will click on two ants that are antonyms.  The more a student gets right the more ants that appear.

In this game, students will destroy aliens and space junk.  If they get an alien, they have to answer a context clues question.  If they miss, they lose a life.  How many aliens can they hit? If space junk hits the ship, students will be given a multiplication question to answer.

In this money word problems worksheet, students will add and subtract dollar amounts to find out how much they would spend altogether, how much change they need back and figure out if they have enough money to purchase the items.  There are 8 money word problems in all. 

You can also purchase the Google Doc version of this worksheet through Teachers Pay Teachers.  The Google Doc version allows you to edit the names, money amounts and verbiage to fit your local students.

This is a word search that contains 15 Valentine's Day vocabulary words. It has art that can be colored by students if they are done early. Eight of the words are then used in a correct spelling identification activity. This is a great filler for a Valentine's Day vocab station or group.
