Geology Gamers

Ok so to be totally honest I was a little worried about how this "great idea" of mine would work out... But oh my the kids did Ah-mazing!  I wanted to create a culminating project for our geology unit to assess the students' knowledge, so we made these fantastic 100% kid created games.  I showed an example of a game I once created to go with a book and the only real instructions I gave them were that their game needed a title, instructions for play, and question cards with geology questions.  The students took it from there and became genius game creators.  The collaboration among the students was absolutely precious.  They truly supported each others' efforts and as a result they came up with the most creative ideas and were inventive problem solvers.  What a wonderful hands-on, project to end our geology unit!  And P.S. this was the absolute perfect activity to work on the week before Spring Break. :)
