International Dot Day

Does anyone out there celebrate International Dot Day at their school? If you are not familiar, International Dot Day, celebrated on September 15th(ish), is a global event inspired by Peter H. Reynolds' book The Dot. The day encourages creativity, courage, and collaboration by inviting people of all ages to make their mark and celebrate their unique talents and ideas. It's often observed in schools with art projects and activities that promote self-expression and confidence.I am a huge Peter Reynolds fan, and I celebrate with my different classes with different Dot themed activities each year. One of my favorite activities is the Dot Day Goosechase that I do with my 1st graders. They explore the campus seeking out dots of different colors and sizes. The catch though, they only get points if they capture a dot that no one else did! This encourages creativity and makes for a fun competition. Here is a copy of my Goosechase if you would like to try it out! https://gsch.se/game/875f4d9e7af

Literacy in Motion! ✍🏼

Hey Literacy Teachers - this one is for you! We heard what you said, combining literacy and movement can be so beneficial to student understanding! So, we created a Literacy in Motion Lesson Plan that combines vocabulary with movement! Check it out in our blog! @steigerwaltk - you may be a fan of this one!

Adding missions from previous experiences but set them to hidden by default

Hi, This is my 3rd year using GooseChase. I like re-using challenges from my previous experiences but when I go to add them, they are automatically set to available. Is there a way to set them to hidden before I re-use them. I rushing back and forth between my old experience and my active experience trying to set the new challenges to hidden before people try to compete them.Thanks

Back to School!

Who is back in session already?? We had our first day with students today! We have some new teachers on staff this year and I am looking forward to introducing them to Goosechase! Does anyone have any great classroom back to school Goosechase activities for students? I am thinking 3rd grade level to start. Have a great year everyone!
