Teacher notes — Classroom Games
Sticky Note Sorting Race needs no props, so it could double as a warm-up
- Needs only a whiteboard, a marker, and a phone timer. No printing required unless you choose to hand out the word bank above.
- Works best in teams of 2 to 4 so every student gets at least one turn at the board within a 10-minute warm-up.
- Decide your spelling rule before round one (full point, half point, or no penalty) so it doesn't become a side argument.
- Keep rounds to 60-90 seconds; past ten words in one sitting, focus usually drops and the marker becomes a toy.
- For a stronger class, use three columns with a middle "It depends" category to force longer spoken justifications.
