KaBlooEy!!!



Yes, the word may look weird funny to students, but they LOVE to yell it! KaBlooEy! pronounced ka-bloo-ee is an adjective that means "destroy"! KaBlooEy! is similar to an old time favorite game! I wanted to give students a different word to yell in their excitement! Besides, the word KaBlooEy! just sounds silly! This KaBlooEy! game is to practice or review factors. Many times students confuse factors with multiples. They need practice with factors to help them with later skills such as adding and subtracting fractions and so forth.


To play, the teacher must first choose an "Expert". The expert is responsible for checking answers using the answer key. When it is the expert's turn, he/she can have someone check his/her work. Students take turns pulling a strip from the envelope [NO PEEKING!] They then answer the question by recording their response on their Student Response Sheet. The expert will determine if the answer is correct or incorrect. If it is correct, the player gets to keep the strip which earns him 1 point. If it is incorrect, the player must place the strip back into the envelope. The most exciting part of the game is when a player pulls a KaBlooEy! strip. If a player pulls one, everyone yells KaBlooEy! [C'mon it can be an inside, quiet yell!] The player then must place all of the strips/points that he/she has earned back into the envelope, and it's the next player's turn. KaBlooEy! strips are placed to the side once pulled from the envelope. The winner is the player who has the most points when the teacher calls time. Students love this game!

  1. Hi Jennifer,

    I am so glad I found this on Pinterest tonight. I would love to have a copy of this game to try out with my 4th graders. We did factors earlier in the year, but I noticed they need a review before we do simplifying fractions. You can reach me at mrs.moricz@gmail.com.

    Thanks...Tina
