Description
Help your penguin win the game - and of course practice use of possessive nouns - by being the first to toss all their snowballs. Tux and Shiver are best buds, and they love to have snowball competitions. In this game, the first penguin to run out of snowballs on each slide wins. There are 8 slides and 8 chances for each penguin to win. Each slide contains opportunities to practice using possessive nouns. Step 1: Decide which penguin goes first (flip a coin, draw straws, rock/paper/scissors, etc.). Player 1 names one of the possessive nouns, uses it in a sentence and clicks on the image. It will disappear to reveal 1, 2, or 3 snowballs. Then click on the corresponding number of snowballs in your penguin's pile. They will also disappear. Step 2: Player 2 then names a possessive noun, uses it in a sentence, clicks on the image, and then clicks on the same number of snowballs in their pile. Continue taking turns until one penguin runs out of snowballs. That penguin wins (at least for that slide). Step 3: You can keep score throughout the slides, counting the number of "wins" until the end of the deck. The locations of the snowballs underneath the possessive nouns are randomized and students cannot memorize the game. It's a new game each time you play. If students don't want to play against each other, they can team up and play the speech therapist or adult.
