What is a choice board?
A graphic organizer that comprises different
amounts of squares. Each square is an
activity.
Students can be instructed to choose one or
more of these activities to complete.
They can progress from one activity to another
either in an organized or random order.
Organisation:
• Tic Tac Toe (3 in a row)
• Connect Four (4 in a row)
