About this resource
Description
Some things give off their own light, and some things do not. This things that give light activity turns that big science idea into a cozy board game for kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students. Children look at 12 picture cards, from a lighthouse and a lantern to a rock and a pillow, and decide which ones are light sources.
Players spin, move along the game board and pick a picture card when they land on a yellow space. If the object gives off light, they move ahead one more space. One card is a clever trap: a mirror shines, but it only bounces light back and does not make its own light. A 1st grade practice page asks students to circle gives light or no light for six pictures, and the things that give light activity includes an answer key for every card.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with game steps
- 12 light picture cards
- A game board with a printable spinner and game pieces
- A 1st grade practice worksheet: gives light or no light
- Answer keys for the picture cards and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
First, sorting real objects helps children understand what a light source is. Second, the mirror card sparks good talk about light that is made and light that is only reflected. Third, a short board game keeps children excited to name, think and explain again and again.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Play this light source board game in a science center, during a unit on light and energy, or as a quick review with a small group. At home, turn off the lamps and hunt for things around the house that give off their own light.
