What is the Silly Story Word Game?

Two pages. The first has a 12 row table of word types, such as adjective, animal, plural noun, verb ending in ed, number, food and place, each with an example word and a tip about past tense verbs. The second page is The Silliest April 1st, a short class story with numbered blanks to fill from the table.
Can I use the Silly Story Word Game at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many 3rd Grade to 5th Grade April Fools' Day resources are there?
⌄
2 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 8 April Fools' Day resources in all, from Kindergarten to 5th Grade, gathered on our April Fools' Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are April Fools' Day resources for?
⌄
These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these April Fools' Day resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
