Resources for Teachers

Find quick ideas, educational activities, and simple ways to use interactive games to review, motivate, and engage your students.

To get started

Simple activities to activate the class.

You do not always need to prepare long materials. A list of words, a few key questions, or several definitions can become a short and engaging activity.

Present a new word, ask the group for clues, and finish with a sentence or example created by the students.

Exit question

Before finishing, use a question or clue so that each student can show an idea they have learned.

Gamification

How to gamify a class without making it complicated.

Gamification does not need big prizes or difficult rules. The important thing is to give a clear goal, visible turns, and a reason to participate.

Define the goal

Decide whether you want to practice vocabulary, review concepts, diagnose prior knowledge, or close a unit.

Prepare short content

Use a few well-chosen words or questions. A short and clear activity is better than a list that is too long.

Use visible turns

When students know who is playing, what they are trying to solve, and how they are progressing, participation improves.

Close with one idea

At the end, summarize the most important word, concept, or answer so that the game also leaves a learning outcome.
