#games4ed Archive

#games4ed discussions cover ways in which gaming can be used in education. Games mirror the way the human mind was designed to learn. They motivate players to take risks and actions, persevere through failures, set and achieve increasingly difficult goals, and devote attention, time, and effort to acquiring knowledge and skills. All this while the game is tracking the player’s actions and assessing the player’s achievements and skills. Isn’t this what we want from education?

  • MNeumire Sep 27 @ 8:07 PM EDT
    A1: musical chairs involves movement, music, chance and racing. QR codes around the room = movement, chance and easily involves content. Could use music to measure time for different challenges. Students could make own music on GB to match tone of a story, then rotate. #Games4ed
  • MarianaGSerrato Sep 27 @ 8:07 PM EDT
    A1: Not really musical chairs as there is no music, but wheneevr I have kids form teams they select and if I don't like I have one eprson remain in place and everyone else moves to the left (or right). Always reminded of musical chairs. #games4ed
  • hgwilson_edu Sep 27 @ 8:07 PM EDT
    #games4ed A1: Maybe you could teach a lesson to elementary students that not everything works out in your favor
  • Rdene915 Sep 27 @ 8:07 PM EDT

    I like the idea of an unexpected time limit. Ive heard @mrmatera talk a few times (once at #hivesummit) about youtube sunset timers. Not a set time but you no the end is nigh! #games4ed
  • MusingsOnEdTech Sep 27 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    A1 - Musical chairs is a combination of 2 things: 1) randomness - when will the music stop? 2) scarcity - there aren't enough chairs? Both work well in lots of games. #games4ed
    • mpilakow - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:06 PM EDT

    Just modified some cards. 7 means silence until the next 7. 6 means slap the table and last draws 2. 0 lets you switch hands with another player. #games4ed
    In reply to @mpilakow
  • EdRebeccaruth Sep 27 @ 8:09 PM EDT
    A1: You could create a trivia game and put the answers on the chairs and have the students sit on the answer they think is correct. This is almost more an idea for a four corners activity but I think you could make it work #games4ed
    In reply to @mpilakow
  • MrJamelli Sep 27 @ 8:09 PM EDT
    A1 MC stations sound fun - I'm in a computer lab and can create various stations in various parts of my room. It's the whole logging into the computers that takes time. #games4ed
  • MrRoughton Sep 27 @ 8:09 PM EDT
    Ugh, if Yugioh counts then I have to change my answer to Magic the Gathering which would definitely then count. (It is 25 years old... geez.) #games4ed

    Q2: BINGO is a simple game. How can it be ramped up to be more challenging and applicable to the classroom? #games4ed
  • mpilakow - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    Agreed. Or it depends on the objective. But if the objective is content, then definitely important to keep them in the game. Or have a way to jump back in the game. I never liked games where you were permanently out. #games4ed

    A2 - Bingo is a perfect listening exercise. Fill it with various things that will be talked about in a presentation, and all of a sudden people are paying *close* attention. #games4ed
  • MrJamelli Sep 27 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A2 Instead of basic numbers, I would think a webquest of items in the BINGO grid to research/explain would be fun - but I would "rig" the boards to make sure the students had at least one tough challenge to get their 5 in a row. #games4ed
  • Rdene915 Sep 27 @ 8:13 PM EDT

    A2: instead of numbers, put words on the cards. In order to complete Bingo, Ss have to write a sentence with all their words. Make slow play bingo- each number is linked to a badge / challenge that Ss have to earn over the course of a week, read a new number a day. #games4ed
  • EdRebeccaruth Sep 27 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A2: Use BINGO in a math class and give the students problems and have each bingo space be an answer! Simple yet engaging! #games4ed
  • MarianaGSerrato Sep 27 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A2: Ive done things like element bingo (though it can be done with other things. You call out a clue instead of a number and they have to makr the correct element. (i.e. element with 6 protons...) #games4ed
  • mpilakow - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    Definitely! I've used it with readings, but I like this idea of using it when listening, too, such as with a TED talk #games4ed

    In reply to @MNeumire
  • hgwilson_edu Sep 27 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A2: Bingo could be used as a review of the lesson where if you have the answer to the question you put down a chip. You could also have different levels of the game where it becomes a championship tournament and the kids have to work to get higher in the tournament #games4ed
  • mpilakow - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:15 PM EDT

    I might try this with some of our vocabulary words, maybe even say all five words need to fit together into a paragraph/storyline, not just separate sentences. Would make them have to think about relationships of words #Games4Ed

    Q3: SCRABBLE celebrates its 85th anniversary this year. How can this game, or its tiles, be used in your content area? #games4ed
  • iluveducating Sep 27 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A2: I love Bingo! One possibility is to keep the bingo cards the same, but after x-number of correct answers or 10 minutes of active participation in class, (insert desired outcome here), T calls a given amount of numbers for card. #games4ed
  • mpilakow - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:18 PM EDT

    In reply to @MarianaGSerrato
  • iluveducating Sep 27 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A3: We love using scrabble as a way to review vocabulary. A variation our Ss love: Ss can choose any word they want, but they have to relate it back to the content. They get so clever in their connections. #games4ed

    A2: I've done pronoun bingo in my class. It's in combination with memory as well. If you turn over two cards that are a possessive pronouns and adjective (ie: her and hers), you can mark off a square on your card that has three sentences, such as... (cont next post) #games4ed
  • MNeumire Sep 27 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    A3: bananagrams! Again, make it slow play. Give students a letter a day, let them rearrange to their heart’s content. Better yet, let them complete challenges to earn letters. Have students write a mystery where scrabble letters are the central clue. #games4ed
  • MarianaGSerrato Sep 27 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    A3: I've seen a commercial math scrabble version. Thinking the tiles could be used as sentence starters in a vocab game or concept review game. You have to use the letter to begin a sentence related to the content. #games4ed

    A3 One class I teach is ICT (Speech) and we do sales pitches. We can draw random Scrabble letters and have Ss find a product or company that starts with that letter and sell one of their products. #games4ed
  • JaredRLopatin Sep 27 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    A2: (cont) "The chair belongs to Elsa. It is __ chair. It is __." So a student who found her and hers could mark off that square. #games4ed

    A3: You could have different stations where the students have to use the tiles to figure out what the code is to move on to the next station. You could also use the tiles for an art project that is fun and creative! #games4ed
  • EdRebeccaruth Sep 27 @ 8:21 PM EDT

    A4 I also teach Accounting, which relies on step by step work. Drawing cards is a way to create a random order of students to do those steps on my smartboard. Also - cards make the perfect way to randomly group kids either by suit, color, or card. #games4ed

    A4: There is so much to explore here - suits, colors, numbers, face cards. The possibilities are endless. #games4ed
  • EdRebeccaruth Sep 27 @ 8:26 PM EDT
    A4: Use the cards to split the kids into groups for projects or discussions. You could even use Old Maid cards to give the each student a partner. #games4ed

    OMG love this game my 1st grade son taught me called Kings corners...super fun and easy to learn! Teaches math and strategy #games4ed
  • mpilakow - Moderator Sep 27 @ 8:26 PM EDT
    Totally...It could be a scrambled word, but it could also be the number code using the points on the tiles! #Games4Ed

    A4: Great for structuring transitions. Each card = group role.use them to jigsaw groups by number and then suit. Cards are also great for creativity. Ss create card games around content. Even better, give them baskets of random items to build into game, like Chopped. #games4ed.

    A4) I'm using them tomorrow to simulate building a village from scratch for the Dark Ages.They are the bricks. #games4ed

    A4: For elementary level you could have colors on each of the cards and they have to figure out what the pattern is with the cards at each station around the room. You could also do a type of go fish game with colors and match them #games4ed
  • JaredRLopatin Sep 27 @ 8:27 PM EDT
    I just keep thinking of how all of these elements can be used in a @BreakoutEDU. I've done Uno cards but now I'm thinking I need to add Scrabble tiles, Bingo boards... #games4ed
  • MrRoughton Sep 27 @ 8:27 PM EDT
    A4) Also love Integer War as a quick time killer in AVID and using them as card backs to my own self-made cards. #games4ed
  • MarianaGSerrato Sep 27 @ 8:27 PM EDT
    A4: Mainly used them to place students in groups. #games4ed

    I love this double challenge. Another idea I've never heard of until tonight. I think this might be what our couch competition will be next Friday! #Games4Ed
    • JaredRLopatin Sep 27 @ 8:24 PM EDT
      A3: How about for math mixed with ELA? "Create a word using only 1 point tiles." Or make a vocabulary word that is worth x amount of points. Or create a word where the place values are ascending. #games4ed
  • SuperEvansMath Sep 27 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    That sounds intriguing #games4ed

    A4 - card sharks is a fun old time game show that featured cards and worked on the higher than / lower than concept that would fit early elementary #games4ed

    Red cards are negative, black are position. Call up two kids. Name an operation, flip 2 cards, have them say the answer first. #games4ed

    A4: I've been using the cards as roles for MAFIA in our theater class (a role playing game)...but makes me think of other ways I could use this idea in other classes. Hmmm.... #Games4Ed
  • MrJamelli Sep 27 @ 8:30 PM EDT
    Probability - yes! Higher than a 3? Oh, too bad it's a 2. :) #games4ed
