Mr_Lisek Mar 2 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: We act out geography terms that relate to our conversations about culture. #sstlap

cheffernan75 Mar 2 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1 in geography acting it out is HUGE when talking about govt and Econ systems. No better way to have Ss get it! #sstlap

nice idea- #sstlap

In reply to @Mr_Lisek

MrAllardSS Mar 2 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2 so much research in vocab talks about drawing it out rather than defining in words. And turn it into a game??? Perfect! #sstlap

StudentsHistory Mar 2 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2 Pictionary was my go-to review game 1st few years teaching!! Kids always loved it to review vocab #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2 in sociology -Ss give directions to partner who can't see original image to understand perspective #sstlap

cheffernan75 Mar 2 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4 you can use any of those games, but have Ss create the Qs instead of the T. #sstlap

Mr_Lisek Mar 2 @ 9:39 PM EST

A5: We write Historical fiction using this method. We call them One Sentence Stories. Facts are a must. #sstlap

MrAllardSS Mar 2 @ 9:39 PM EST

A5 Use telephone game to talk about with relaying information in history - also good if school is having issues with rumors #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:39 PM EST

A5 Pass it on- ss share story of event where 1 starts then passes to another who continues adding details of what happened #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:40 PM EST
