Whole Group Circle Games for the classroom!

Both of these circle games (Buzz & Sparkle) are great for math or literacy warm ups, to use during morning meeting, or really to use when you have a little downtime and want to practice counting or spelling!

If you happen to use any of these ideas at home or in your classroom, leave a comment below and let me know how they go! :) Also, if you share any of the games from Susan's Sunday Spotlight, please tag me on Instagram @susanjonesteaching so I can see!!

My class loves to play Buzz! They ask each morning if they are going to play Buzz as their math warm-up. The counting skills of all my students have improved greatly in the two weeks we have been playing! I love Sunday Spotlight! Thanks for the great ideas.

We used to play Fizz Buzz when we were kids. A few years older than this age group.
Multiple of 3 were fizz and multiples of five was Buzz.
15 was Fizz-Buzz

What would be a good way to make Buzz easier for PreK or new Kinders?

Susan how would you use buzz in kindergarten

I saw these played and I'm not too keen on kids sitting down. They tend to not participate any more. I see the idea, but I wouldn't make them sit.
