Lesson Plan

Fuzzy Mud Challenge Plan

Students will reinforce comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking based on the novel “Fuzzy Mud” by playing two active team games—defining terms to build a ‘tower’ and answering trivia under time pressure.

Active, collaborative games help solidify students’ understanding of key vocabulary and plot points, boost engagement, and foster critical thinking and communication skills in a fun, low-stakes environment.
