Ten Quick Ideas for Using
Star Wars® Yoda's Challenge™ in the Classroom

1. Have the students do the activity The Race at Theeds. Ask them to record the type of terrain the race animals do best on, and the types which slow them down. Have the students make a chart and use the information to plan their next race.

2. In Build Anakin's Songbook, use the "Make Your Own Music" feature with your class. Have students suggest a melody as you click to compose a theme song for your class. Write lyrics to go with your song, and post them in your classroom.

3. Explore the geology of caves with your class, when students do the activity Explore Gungan Caves. Do a short unit on bats.

4. Prepare your students to play the game Trap Droids by giving them sequences of pencil taps. Ask them to remember progressively longer sequences, and repeat them back.

5. Tell students that they are going to be sports writers. Have them write a newspaper article reporting the results of The Race at Theeds.

6. Do a geometry lesson on shapes, using tangrams. Have the students learn the names of the shapes. Give the students an opportunity to manipulate the shapes to find out how they can use shapes to make other shapes.

Example -- Two triangles with all the sides the same can make a diamond, or a square.

7. Have the students write new stories for C-3PO to put in his memory bank.

8. Have your class create playing cards by tracing tangram shapes onto index cards. Have them play games like "Concentration" and "Go Fish", using the cards they created.

9. Print out the stories in Program C-3PO. Have your students draw a cartoon sequence to illustrate each one.

10. Add some of the words from stories in Program C-3PO to the week's spelling list.
