It can sometimes be a good thing to shake things up in the classroom and do things different ways. Rather than boring old test prep that will make your students snore, you should opt to do something a little more immersive and go to the carnival! Not literally, though - but with this test prep station and decoration kit.

I created this classroom transformation resource because I have a lot of fond memories of going to the carnival with my family, riding the rides, and wasting all my tokens on those rigged game booths

🎡Your students will be totally engaged in all 6 of the stations.

Different skills have different stations to play games at, so your students are going to love allll the learning that goes on that day. There’s even an option to earn points for prizes just like carnivals have, if you’re up for it!

🎡It will help prepare your students for their upcoming tests and boost their confidence.

As your students will be super engaged, they will have a greater chance of retaining information (whole body learning, anyone?). Confidence is key to doing well in things, so help make sure your students are confident in their test-taking abilities.

🎡It can give your students something to work toward.

If you plan it out, you could always have them earn a carnival day after doing whatever test review you have planned. For example, this year (as I’m writing this), our grade level team has a 10-day review before our state test and I’m planning on doing a classroom transformation the day before their test. One big day of fun before a potential stressful day!
