Making Word Study Fun with Story Lines App

This morning we introduced Story Lines, one of the many educational apps our students will use on our iPads.  Story Lines is similar to the traditional game "Telephone," where one person passes on the message to the next person, until the final person reveals what was (hopefully) the original message.

Story Lines is a bit different, however.  In this game, the first player writes down a word/phrase. The very next person's job is to draw that word/phrase without using any words or phrases.  The third person then guesses what word/phrase the previous person drew.  You can choose this option to go on and on for several rounds.

The way we will use Story Lines in our classroom could vary from using it to practice word meaning (vocabulary) to retelling an important part in our Social Studies text.  It is all about being creative, and of course having fun!

One of the best parts about this app...it is free!  Follow this link to learn more about the app and/or to download it to your iDevice.
