Description
If you’re looking for a FUN way to review author’s purpose, this is it! This print-and-go game (digital version included) is a great way to assess or practice author’s purpose at any time of the year. Even better, it comes with 5 different texts! The games can be played with a partner, or in small groups!
Â
This author’s purpose game includes:
-
all game pieces
-
5 different texts
-
directions page for students
-
answer keys
-
link to the digital version
Â
In this game, students cut apart and lay out parts of 5 different texts. Then, they cut and glue together an “author’s purpose dice” with sides labeled: inform, entertain, and persuade. A player rolls the dice and chooses a part of the text that they believe fits the purpose they rolled. The first player to build an entire story and identify the author’s purpose, wins! Answer keys are included.
Â
Other than printing the game supplies, there is no other prep for the teacher. This makes for a great center activity, or a stand-alone game!
Â
Teachers are always looking for fun and simple, so here you go! Enjoy!
