About this resource

Students love a good scoot game! Scoot games are fun, provide movement and reinforce the topics you are teaching students. In this scoot game, students will read a situation and decide if it is positive or negative peer pressure. This set is geared toward upper elementary age (Grades 2–4). There are 30 task cards with pictures and 30 without. All you need is to print off the number of answer sheets for each student as well as a set of task cards for each desk/area. Get a timer, and a bell and you are good to go!
