The Sleeping Penguins PPT game is a great activity to encourage kids to practice writing words and sentences. This game is best played in groups of 4 and requires students to work together as a team to write down the answer. Download the template below.

HOW TO PLAY:

Put students into groups of 4. Number the students in each group 1,2,3, and 4. Then, all students should ‘go to sleep’ (close their eyes). When the teacher says ‘Number 1’, the number 1 students should wake up, look at the word on the screen, and then go back to sleep.

Next, the teacher should say ‘Number 2’ and the number 2 students should wake up, look at the word on the screen, and then go to sleep. Do the same with number 3 students and number 4 students. Once all 4 students have seen their word, the teacher will say ‘Wake up’. Then, all students should open their eyes and tell their words to their teammates. The fastest team to write down the sentence accurately is the winner.
