Cell Pals Student Partners/Grouping

Use these cell phones to pair your students up with a partner. Each student gets a cell phone. Their cell phones will have "friends/speed dial" numbers on it. Each number will have a classmate listed beside it. The teacher calls out a speed dial number. Whoever the student has listed beside that number is the partner he/she works with. The students LOVE their cell phones and look forward to using them all the time!!!

  1. Help me understand... if Johnny has Susie has number 4 but Susie has Bobby as number 4 how does that work? How do you pair only 2? Do the students pick their own numbers and names??

    1. Yes, the students pick their own cell pal for each number. I have them pick one number at a time. Everyone goes around and finds someone for their number 1. Once everyone has a number 1, I have them go around and find a number 2, etc. So when I tell them to "call" their 4 friend. Everyone has a partner.


      Hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any other questions.

  5. once two students find each other, they write each others names on their number 1 for example.
    Candice's Cell Johnny's cell
    1. Johnny 1. Candice


    and so forth.
    Then you call out... ok speed dial 1. Johnny and Candice work with each other.
    Hope that helps. My middle schoolers will love this.
