I learned this game from @lamaestraloca in her presentation at #practicalandcomprehensible in January and really wanted to give it a try. With Covid restrictions and wanting to keep my students safe, I came up with a virtual way that worked really great with my fifth grade classes that are made up of a combination of in-class and remote learners.

After finishing Write and Discuss about our Special Person, I handed in ten sentences from the description we put together and divided the class into four groups. I showed them the four dice on my Ben-Q Board and told them they were to write the translation of the sentences in English only when their group dice got a “six”. I counted to six before I press “Roll Dice” again because the page took a little while to load and to give them time to write. They were really into it and demonstrated great comprehension!

The groups that did not get a “six” had to keep their hands up, on their head, or behind their neck and were really supervising that no one was writing when it was not their turn. SO MUCH FUN!!

Random.org allows you to use up to sixty dice at the time.
