Creative uses for sticky notes in the FSL classroom

Below, I will detail 5 creative ways to use sticky notes in the FSL classroom, showcase some sticky-note resources AND teach you how to print on sticky notes! Do you have other unique ways of using sticky notes in your classroom? Leave me a comment below to tell me about it!
5 creative uses for sticky notes in the FSL classroom
1. Sentence order
Write out each word of a sentence on a separate sticky note. For example, Je/suis/très/fatiguée. Then mix up the sticky notes and have students put them back in order. You can use this as an activity centre by using sentences from your unit of study. Write out each sentence on a different colour of sticky note and have students rearrange the sticky notes to complete the sentence correctly. Then, have your students write out the correct sentence for marking.
2. Exit slips
Check in on your students’ learning after a lesson sequence by asking them to record what they have learned from the lesson on a sticky note. You will then be able to assess if there is anything that you need to re-teach.
3. Collaborative activities
Easily create collaborative Venn diagrams and KWL charts with your entire class using sticky notes. Create the diagram outline on chart paper or your whiteboard. Then, ask each student to write their contribution on a sticky note and add it to the larger diagram. This is a great way to ensure that all students participate in a whole-class activity.
4. Quiz games
Create a quick and easy interactive quiz-style game by writing quiz questions on your whiteboard or chart paper. Cover up the questions with sticky notes and write a point value on each note. Students can play by choosing the value amount, removing the sticky note and answering the secret question underneath!
5. Vocabulary match
Write your unit vocabulary words and their matching definitions or translations on separate sticky notes. Challenge your students to match them up correctly!
