Football season is in full swing, so why not bring some football fun to your math classroom. I love to shake things up by doing a huge football transformation every year. Usually, I do this transformation during the opening week of football, or I will wait until the end of the season for the Superbowl.
Here are a few ways to add a bit of football fun. This time of year, it is easy to find football themed bowls, tablecloths, and decor. Snag it up now if you plan to do a transformation!
I use footballs marked with A-D for team questions or quizzes. Students listen to the question, run up and grab the correct letter (for the answer) and if they are correct, they receive a point for their team. You can use this with any content area.
Use a simple football tablecloth for a game. Students move a pawn down the field as they solve math word problems that are written on jerseys (for added fun). When students reach the other side, they score a touchdown.
Printable math games and activities are sure to spark a little more fun with this football theme. You can even leave the games for a week or more in math centers for extra practice after your football day.
Look at your local bakery. I have found different football items that I have used over the year. One year I found cookies, I have also gotten the Reece's football shaped peanut butter cups. Sometimes I find little football-shaped candies that taste like candy corn. It is fun to have a treat to pass out at the end of the day or activities.
