3rd Grade Trash Can Basketball
What does the word “career” mean? Even as 3 rd graders, it is good to start thinking about what kind of career you may want
when you grow up. Divide class into two teams – one person goes at a time. If they answer question correctly (they can ask
team for help) they get one point. Then they have chance to shoot a ball into a trashcan/hamper for an extra point. Alternate
teams until all questions have been asked.
