Grade 5 Social Studies/English Language Arts Curriculum

Lesson 1: Anything Goes

It’s time to play a little game.

No two groups will play the same.
What and how is up to you.
The group must choose what it will do.
Use the things that you find here.
It won’t take long; you need not fear.
In six short minutes you’ll share your fame.
By telling how you played your game.
