Teacher-Created Activity CKLA Unit 3 “Different Lands, Similar Stories” Strand Listening & Learning Grade 1 Activity “Domain 3 Jeopardy” ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION This activity was designed to be used in conjunction with Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) grade 1, unit 3. For more information about CKLA, click here. It addresses speaking & listening standards as well as provides students with practice working as a team. This activity was designed to serve as a culminating review of the domain. However, instead of waiting until the end, teachers have the option of applying this same structure to pause and review the unit in smaller chunks. Advance Preparation: • Create an anchor chart with categories, questions, and point values (see document below). Do not include answers [in brackets] • Create teams (4–6 children per team) Activity: Students compete 'Jeopardy' style activity by choosing categories for a specific point value. Once the category/value is selected, the teacher reads aloud the corresponding question and students talk in their teams to determine the answer. One student is the reporter in the group and shares their answer aloud. This role rotates for each turn so all students in the group get an opportunity to say an answer aloud. If the answer is correct, the team receives the corresponding points. If it is incorrect, other teams have a chance to steal and earn the points.
