Activity Instructions: Find two games/activities for each grade/age level that are appropriate for the skills that each level has achieved. Insert the title of the games/activity into the appropriate boxes in the table. If you are choosing a game that will need modifications to it for the age level you are choosing them make sure that the modifications you are making are clear so that I understand what is being changed and how. Once completed attach the table into the weekly assignment area through the submission link. Make sure to include a copy of each game/activity inside the assignment area as well, so that I can match them up with titles in the table.
