Today in class we had two opportunities to play "I have, who has?" Students were then given a Geography Review Activity.
 
We played I have, who has to start class today.  Students then turned in their Geography Review Activity that they began yesterday.  Students spent the remainder of the class playing a matching activity with famous Georgians.
 
Each class that met today played another round of "I have, who has?"  Students were then given time to attempt the Georgia people matching game in teams.  Winning teams we given fabulous fun and prizes.
