If your students are anything like mine they are having a hard time focusing on school work when summer vacation is just around the corner. Good weather here is making this more and more of a challenge as classrooms heat up (no A/C) and the lure of the great outdoors beckons!
Here is what I do to to that help keep me and my students going the last few weeks of the school year...
Review Games: My students are required to write final exams in all subjects and so we spend quite a bit of time playing games to review for their tests.
Here are a few of my favourites.
Draw It! - have students pick a vocabulary term from a hat and draw it on the board, while others guess the term. I also use small whiteboards to allow play with smaller teams.
Question Challenge - divide your class into two teams. Give each team 20-30 minutes to create 30 short answer questions. Teams / players take turns asking the other team a question.
What Am I? - write key vocabulary words on sticky notes and stick one on each student's back. Students must figure out what they are by asking others in the class questions that can only be answered with yes or no.
There are also lots of free templates available on-line for games like Jeopardy, I Have-Who Has, Dominoes... why not put a little fun into review!
