Attitude Boost Game Guide
Although the AB games are independent activities, they work best as complementary activities to the classroom lessons in the AB Teachers' Guides. The AB Game Guide will lead you through implementation of the games with your class.
This website also includes two other supportive review activities: puzzles and flashcards. These review activities use vocabulary and concepts from across AB. Therefore, we suggest using these supportive review activities as a capstone to your classroom implementation of AB.
