Teresa Salvato’s first graders at Pine Bush Elementary went old school as they played some games that children played at the first Thanksgiving many years ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They learned that you need good eye/hand coordination and patience to play ring pin. Hiding the shell while playing the shell game with a partner was exciting and hard not to peek. Although they couldn’t use a real bow and arrow, they enjoyed throwing unsharpened pencils with the eraser side first at the wooden target.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hubbub was very enjoyable finding different combinations of five and earning points depending on the combination. Twirly top was great practice for spinning a top and counting using tally marks. Such fun and not a screen in sight!
