Have students walk around the room looking at cards, recording their responses on the answer sheets, and then scanning the QR code to check their responses. ( NOTE: cards should be printed on white paper, as colored paper can interfere with the QR code readability.). Five more key terms review options are available within the other Key Terms Review LessonĬreate class sets of Key Terms Review Cards and answer sheets for students to use as review tools.Įach card contains a definition and a QR code that students can scan with their phones to reveal the corresponding term.Students engage in standard game play, but after they draw each blocks, must correctly identify the definition before stacking it atop the tower. If they succeed in doing so, they earn a point and get another term from you. Students then pair up, show each other their terms, and can ask each other twenty yes or no questions to try and correctly identify their terms. TWENTY QUESTIONS: Give a term to each student and tell them not to look at it.


In turns, one member from each group serves as the clue giver for 45 seconds, drawing a term from the top of the pile trying to get his or her group to guess it without saying any part of the term (as in the games "Catch Phrase"), then moving on to other terms as time permits. ( NOTE: This can also be executed in groups of four, but that format works better if you have student actors who already have improv experience.)ĬONFERENCE COMMITTEE: Write terms on index cards, stack them, and divide students into two groups. Then repeat with new terms and different students. Periodically, each student needs to reach down, pick up a term, and incorporate it into the next thing he or she says in the scene. Have two students begin an improv scene based on a government scenario that you've selected. This can be done as either a "Gallery Walk" activity or via a GoogleDoc so students can easily see each others' captions.īLIND LINE: Write six terms on scraps of paper, fold them, and place them in an open area of classroom flooring. Task students with writing captions for the pictures utilizing key terms. Applying Knowledge: Review Activity OptionsĬAPTION CONTEST: Choose a variety of "action shot" pictures related to government and politics.
