These fly swatters were on sale 3 in a bag
for a $1 at the Dollar General. I loved them so much I asked the hubby
to jump in the truck and come on a quick 'field trip' with me! I bought 7
bags for $7, then I bought the ribbon at Wal*Mart for
under 6 bucks. The basket was old and kicking around in our garage, so
we cleaned that up and added the left over ribbon ~ ta-da! I'm feeling
kind of crafty now! :)
To play SWAT, have the students write their vocabulary words on separate
index cards, spread them around the top of the desk & let the games
begin! They stand up & I called out each definition and then they
"swat" each word. I also make up fill-in-the-blank sentences,
opposites & "what comes first alphabetically?" etc.
My students love it
& it allows them to get their wiggles out!
