Bombed Lesson Plan

Sometimes lesson plans fail. Miserably. I thought this lesson plan I had for today was a FANTASTIC idea! Remember that game "quack-diddly-o-so"? Well I changed the words to our current 6th grade lesson and thought I could quickly teach how to play and it would be a great lesson! And...it sucked!! The kids didn't understand at all. Hand-slapping games are really different here and even when I tried to adapt it to a Korean style game, it bombed. Bummer. Fortunately I didn't persist in trying to teach it to all 7 of my 6th grade classes. Maybe I'll try it tomorrow with the really advanced class, or maybe I'll just let it go.
