Welcome to Litsy!

My kids loved this movie and game when they were younger but I don‘t remember reading the book to them?! I came across an old copy in a discard pile and decided to revisit the story. The movie and game are better than the book but the illustrations are great. 😂 #pop22 ~ book with the name of a board game in the title

Zathura is a spinoff of Jumanji The original Jumanji movie stays close to the original book. Zathura was also made into a pretty fun movie, but there connection to Jumanji was never made within its plot. And the movie is quite a bit different from the book. Two brothers are playing outside and discover the game Jumanji. However, it contains a second board with a trip to Zathura.

The Jumanji movies are based on this book

This SF book is great for PR. This book tells the story about how two brothers, Walter and Danny, got sucked into a board game. After one of Walter and Danny's frequent brother fights, they stumbled upon a game called Jumanji. In this box was a board game that led to planet Zathura. Their adventure game to Zathura turned into a real fight for their lives. Will the boys be able to work together to get back home? Read and find out!

This SF book written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg follows two boys who are home while their parents go out for the evening and come across a magical board game. When they start to play the game they go on a crazy adventure with many obstacles, but they must finish the game.
This is a great book for students to learn about science and reading at the same time. #UCFLAE3414F19

This SF book is a sequel to the Juamji book, the author uses the same idea of the Jumanji game board but instead of the theme being a jungle Zathura is a game that comes to life in outer space. This book would be good as a RA and then students can work in pairs. http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/features/thepolarexpress/tg/zathura.shtml

Zathura by Chris Van Allsburg is a cool SF book. It is about brothers who play a game that take them to space. The drawings are amazing. I would present this book as a PR, and two people can take turns reading as the brothers. This website is a teacher‘s guide to reading this book in class, which would be very useful. http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/features/thepolarexpress/tg/zathura.shtml

Zathura by Chris Van Allsburg (SF) - I first learned about this Caldecott Award winner during the author study assignment! I was drawn to this story because it is the sequel to Jumanji, which is an awesome major motion picture! Zathura is about two boys who are travel on an intergalactic adventure when their house is brought through space. This book would be a perfect RA when teaching your class about space due to the amazing illustrations!

#UCFLAE3414SU19 This SF book written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg follows two brother, Danny and Walter. The bickering duo come across an out of this world board game that tasks them with multiple riddle like missions on their way to the planet Zathura. The process brings them together in the end with funny events throughout. This would make a great RA or IR. Using http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/features/zathura/educators.shtml

Zathura is a SF picture book written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg. This book is the sequel to Caldecott award winning picture book Jumanji. Zathura tells the story about two brothers, Danny and Walter, who play a space adventure board game called Zathura. Only, this isn‘t just some normal board game, this game takes them into outer space and as the boys read each card, something happens to them in outer space. #ucflae3414su19

A good story for the summer reading theme, “A Universe of Stories” ☺️ I really like movie and never realized that this one could be a book too, so I decided to read it (since I read Jumanji and this stems off of that book). Obviously has some different scenarios than what was showcased in the movie, but what bummed me out was that the boys didn‘t even get to say “Zathura” to end the game. Can‘t always be same, I know.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This SF story by Chris Van Allsburg is the sequel to the well known book Jumanji. Walter and Danny open a game and transport into outer space where they encounter many intergalactic issues. I would use this book as a RA in my classroom before beginning a science lesson on space.

#AbbaInAugust Day 10: Two brothers at each other‘s throat (literally). Parents are away. A board game resting innocuously against a tree in the park. A space adventure of a lifetime. #TheNameOfTheGame is Zathura. Pair with Jumanji. My full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-8zH

This SF book is a classic. The theme of this book is about relationships. The two brothers are classic brothers as the older one makes fun of the younger one and the younger just wants to play. They go on a crazy adventure (which includes non gravity and I tried to make my picture reflect that). In the end they end up not fighting and playing catch. This would be a great PR. The lesson plan I have is meant for 6-8, but could be modified:

Zathura by Chris Van Allsburg is a SF story that will keep your students making predictions! They can write down their predictions and share then with a partner. This book is good for SR. It is also the sequel to Jumanji. An ESOL Strategy would be 7 which is to show students how to use graphic organizers like semantic mapping and imaging. They will be using imaging alot in this book! A UDL would be 3.3

This SF book would serve as a great SR. This book will have the students anxious to find out what happens next on the adventure. A great resource to use with this book is http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/features/zathura/educators.shtml which is a lesson guide from the publishers which includes activities that integrate both science and language arts. This book also can go along with ESOL Strategy 14 Simplify your speech by making it slower

Zathura by Chris Van Allsburg , a SF book. The story of two brothers , Danny and Walter , did not get along well. While playing , rough outside Danny found a box of a game named Jumanji.They started playing the game and suddenly , the house moved, and suddenly they where out in space. They go back and move a space in the board , that said earth. Then Walter losses his gravity. Every time they move the dice something different happens.

This SF written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg is a classic tale for the classroom. This space centered book tells a great story of two brothers who come across a game that tests their relationship and ends with their bond becoming stronger. Perfect for PR. EL 40- prepare individual card files of subject area specific vocab (space). UDL 2.5 illustrate through multiple media #ucflae3414f17

Zathura wirtten and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg is a wonderful SF that follows brothers Danny and Walter as they go on an adventure through space after finding the game. Met with robots, Zorgons, and alternate gravity the brothers have to learn to get along and work together to get home. With vivid illustrations and compelling dialogue this would be perfect for a PR. #ucflae3414f17
