![]() Metamorphic- The middle person points to an outside person and says “metamorphic!” That outside person must brace themselves because the people on either side of them must squish inwards onto that person. The two people to either side of the volcano must form the sides of the volcano and also make the explosion noises. ![]() Igneous- The middle person points to an outside person and says “igneous!” That outside person must raise their arms above their head and make explosion noises. If more than one person messes it up, just pick one. If the correct actions are not performed by the right people before the middle person counts to ten, then whoever messed it up is in the middle. Now introduce the three rock types slowly. Run the game just with “Rock” and “Rockity rock rock rock” for a while. If the outside person fails to say rock in time, they are now in the middle. The middle person can also say “Rockity rock rock rock!” In this case, the person on the outside must say “Rock!” before the middle person finishes their four word phrase. If that person says anything back, they go in the middle and the previous middle person takes their spot. The middle person can say “Rock!” to someone on the outside. The person in the middle is trying to get the people on the outside to mess up. Put yourself in the middle to explain the game. Step One: Teach the game “Rockity Rock Rock Rock” in which students will be introduced to how Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic rocks are formed:Īssemble the students in a circle. ![]() Students will be gathering rocks that are within walking distance of their house that they will bring into the classroom during the next lesson. Students will be introduced to the three rocks through the game. Introduce the lesson with the game “Rockity Rock Rock Rock”. White board, markers, photo samples of the three types of rocksĪ written summary of the game Rockity Rock Rock Rock.ĭownload Rockity Rock Rock Lesson Hook/Preview.Experience playing and teaching the game “Rockity Rock Rock Rock”.Variety of samples of all three types of rocks.Teacher will need to be able to define geology (study of rocks and how they are formed).Teacher will need to know how to play the game “Rockity Rock Rock Rock”.Teacher will need to know the three main types of rocks and how they are formed.Students will be able to identify the three basic types of rocks (Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic) and basic characteristics of each. What are the three basic types of rocks, and how do they differ in terms of composition and geologic origin? Objective Interpret or summarize the ideas in own words. Understanding: Understand the main idea of material heard, viewed, or read. Thinking Skills: Remembering: Recalling or recognizing information ideas, and principles. Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
