Differentiated Earth Day Activity
Because this board game is editable, it is super easy for you to differentiate it for all of the ability levels of your students. Use the exact same game board for all of your students while giving each one what they need.
You’ll only need to teach them how to use the game board once and then they will know how to use them over and over again in the future for many different themes.
Here are some more differentiation ideas for this Earth Day board game:
Students roll a dice, move that many spaces, land on a letter and say its sound.
Students will roll a dice and move to the space with the same number on it. (Can use 6-sided dice, 10-sided dice, or even ten frame dice.)
Students roll two dice, add the numbers together and move to a space with that sum on it.
Players will roll a cube with a letter written on each side and then move to space that matches the letter rolled.
Students will roll a dice, move that many spaces, land on a word and read it out loud.
Players will roll a cube with blends or digraphs written on each side. Students roll the cube and move to a space with a word that includes that blend or digraph.
On a cube, write 1 on two sides, 2 on two more sides and 3 on the remaining two sides. Students roll a 1, 2 or a 3 and move to a word with that many syllables.
As you can see, there are so many ways to use this editable Earth Day board game. I am sure you can think of even more ways to use these with your students!

Playing the Earth Day Board Game
Students will roll the dice or spin a spinner and move that number of spaces on the game board. When they land on a space they will read the word, say the letter sound, solve the math problem, etc.
When I use the alphabet game board. My daughter rolls the dice and then moves to the space on the game board. When she lands on a letter she tells me the name of the letter and the sound it makes.
My son has been using the game board to reinforce multiplication facts. He rolls the dice, lands on a math fact, solves it, and writes the number sentence on a piece of paper.
We are also using the game board for sight words. It makes learning them far more fun than using flash cards or something like that.
