One of
my favourite time-filler activities that I hand out to students who are done
all their work properly is the Extreme Dot-to-Dot. It’s a dot-to-dot activity with some pictures
having over 1400 dots! The students in
Grades 3 and up absolutely love them, because they just can’t guess what the
picture is until it’s done.
There’s one
class in particular where I substitute often, and they ask for these when they
see me come in. One student, C., loves
them so much that he can do several in one day!

The
pictures can be hard to decipher sometimes, so I usually tell the kids to back
up from the picture and squint their eyes to see it better. When I told C. to squint, he started to get
lower to the ground. I kept telling him “Squint! Squint!” and he kept getting
lower and lower to the ground. I finally
realized that he was SQUATTING!!! No
wonder he couldn't see the picture!!
To
this day, whenever I go in that class, C. asks me if I remember how to
squint. Those are the little moments
that create bonds between teacher and student.
I love it!
These look fun and I know my Gr4s would love them. Where do you find them?

I can't remember where I bought it from, but I think it's either Micheal's or Scholar's Choice...two of my all-time favourite stores! LOL I had C. as a student last year in grade 4 and he loved them then, and still does! I'm going to look for more because he has done every page in the book! There are even some puzzles that take up an 8.5x17 page!
