Beach Learning Activities



This summer I'm teaching a small summer camp at my school for 2 weeks. It's only mornings, so we mostly cover Reading/Writing and Math, and try to integrate some Science/Social Studies too. And it's Beach themed!

Although I teach this summer camp all in English, and my classroom during the year is Spanish/English, I can still use many of these resources during the year because I always teach Math in English (See: Gomez & Gomez Dual Language Model).

Some sweet (FREE!) stuff I found on Pinterest/Teachers Pay Teachers:
We're also using:
  • Sight word beach ball (seen above) - they can throw it to themselves or a friend and read both of the words that their pointer fingers hit
  • Beach ball with numbers anywhere from 1 - 500, then whichever number your left hand hits, you make that number with base 10 blocks. Play with a partner and see who can make their number the fastest.
  • Flip Flop Slap - get a new pair of flip flops and write High Frequency words on notecards. Lay out the notecards on the floor and have 2 kids play (one with each flip flop). They can either yell out a word and their partner has to slap it, or you yell out words and the student that slaps it first wins the card.
