Extend your lesson on Christopher Myers' H.O.R.S.E with a series of activities about basketball. After kids read the book, they match basketball terms with their definitions, find as many words as they can with the letters H, O, R, S, and E, and add up the points in different shots to determine which player is the winner.

Instructional Ideas

• Use the worksheets after you read the book in class
• Have kids play a game of Horse outside before they complete the written activities
• Bring learners to the computer lab to research the rules of basketball, or have them brainstorm what they already know about basketball as a class

Classroom Considerations

• Cover sheet is in color, but you could print the rest of the pages in black and white if necessary
