I have...Who Has...? Summer Edition
, Not Grade Specific,
The card game forms one continuous listening-and-speaking chain. After every card is shuffled and distributed, a learner begins, the holder of the requested summer picture responds, and play continues until the final card. The visible deck uses a wide variety of seasonal images connected with beaches, travel, outdoor activities, refreshments, and warm weather. Successful play depends on distributing all cards, making attentive listening central to the activity.

Letter M Games
, Not Grade Specific,
Letter M picture games turn initial-sound recognition into a dice-and-cover board task. Players roll, move around the board, and cover the matching picture they land on. Each game ends after every picture has been covered, giving the repeated /m/ image set a clear play sequence. Both boards repeat the same directions, including spaces that send a player to roll again, so the picture-matching rule remains stable across versions.

Race to the Top Interactive Game
, Not Grade Specific,
Up to five teams work through sections of problems on a mountain-shaped game board, checking in with the teacher after finishing each section before rolling a die to reveal one of six movement rules — some multiply the roll, some average two rolls, and one lets trailing teams catch up. A team that answers incorrectly must find and fix its mistakes before checking in again, and the first team to reach the top wins five percent extra credit on the next test, according to the built-in Game Rules slide. The problem numbers shown on the board are placeholders in an editable PowerPoint file, so a teacher fills in whichever problem set the class is working through that day.

A single discussion sheet presents a sequence of either-or choices within a restaurant theme. Options span beverages, courses, foods, dining location, companions, preparation preferences, and side dishes. Learners select a preference and explain why in Spanish, which turns the page into speaking practice rather than simple vocabulary matching. It can support partner exchanges, whole-class polling, or short written justifications for more advanced learners.
