Students supporting self regulation of themselves and classmates
Updated version: Only English. Used with students for locational knowledge. Timer already set so you don’t need to press anything and check the students/ control behaviour. You can adjust timer settings.
40minutes - 1hr class: alter to suit your needs/ wants to adjust timing.
This has PPT, an answer sheet for you, 1 page quiz worksheet (or they can write numbers and answers, depending on the ability of students or your resources), a video (which is already embedded in the PPT but you have this as an in case).
Powerpoint is already timed, so you only need to get the class into groups, give them a worksheet and the slides will go through. I monitor the classroom and if they already answered, then I would forward it to next slide to provide more discussion time at end.
Guess the country (flags made with their food)
Name the colours of the flag
Real or Fake flag
Short video clip about flags: memory test
At the end, you can mark answers by going through with students and having them swap their sheets with another group. You can even expand on each section/ answer by asking about the image which brings into cultural food and famous things of each country, or even some facts that students may know.
You can decide how they get full marks. For example, correct spelling only etc. Literacy is important in UK schools and you gain points for correct spelling in exams so you might want to factor your lessons.
I used this for English class where they had to translate it from their own language to English so I didn’t mark for spelling but gave them points for trying to spell (usually they would have the word in their langauge). Their geography level are good so I usually did forward the slides.
I used this as a reward day which is fun, engaging and has competition between teams. You can give rewards to the winning team if you like, usually candy or in UK it would be commendations.
A 2 truths and 1 lie game. There is a total of 5 rounds. Answers are animated to appear when you click. It comes up with the correct fact, or an interesting fact that is related to the statement.
