Engage Your Students with this Fact vs Opinion game based on Texas History and Geography

What is among us? Both fact and opinion tell us that Texas history and geography are among us! What else is among us? Unlimited replay is among us!

WHY BUY THIS?

Aren’t we all a little more engaged when material is presented to us in a fun way? Turning a simple worksheet or practice test into a review game captures students’ attention and increases their motivation to participate. If your classroom is anything like mine, you know that behavior problems are minimal when student engagement is high. 

With this customizable game board, you can turn any worksheet, practice test, or topic into an irresistible game that students are begging you to play.

I know it can be nearly impossible to find pre made review games that perfectly align with your curriculum.  

Let’s say you're a 4th-grade teacher using the Bridges math curriculum and want to review for the unit 3 math test at the end of the week. 

The odds of finding a review game for this specific test on TeachShare are pretty slim, so save the time spent searching for something and create a game yourself. 

This editable template allows you to create a jeopardy-style review game to match exactly what you want students to learn and practice. Just divide the material into the main categories and input the questions and answers into the game board. BOOM, it’s ready to play! 

I’ve even included a question planning template and step-by-step instructions to make the planning process even easier for you!

The options are endless. Create as many different games as you want and play them for years to come.

English forehead guessing vocabulary game

This forehead guessing game is very simple. It includes 55 cards with pictograms representing an object, an action or an animal. This version is a mishmash of themes.

This resource is included in my ESL - ELL speaking, listening, writing activities and games - Growing bundle.

How to play:

From 2 to 10 players. Make two or more teams, the team with the youngest player starts the game.

Draw a card and without looking at it, show it to other members of your team. If possible, place it on his forehead with an adhesive. The player who draws the card must ask questions in order to guess what is on the card. The other members of the team answer only by "YES", "NO" or "sometimes" or another word that can guide his or her teammates. No gestures or noises are allowed. For example, if the card shows a dog,  the player will have to ask several questions to be able to know what is on his card.

Examples:

"Is it an animal"? Yes

“Does this animal live in water”? No

“Does it eat meat”? Yes

The team scores a point if the word is guessed. The team that reaches 10, 15 or 20 points has won !!

Paired or Group Speaking Game - No, because...

What is this game?   A guessing game to get your students speaking!  This game is similar to (but more challenging than) the game of twenty questions. Be sure to check out the video preview!

Number of players:  Two people or a small group.  It can be challenging, so I recommend this game for grades 6 and higher.

What is included:  50 playing cards

How to play: This game is very simple, but you really need to explain how it works for students to play it correctly and not turn it into a 20 questions type of game.  One player thinks of an object and the other players try to guess what it is. Each card has an image of a person, place, or a thing. The person holding the card is the one who will do the most speaking.  The other people in the group will simply ask questions like “Is it a _____?”  All they can ask is if the image on the card is a particular noun.  The person holding the card has to answer by saying, “No, it's not a ____ because…..”

Examples:

Player 1 is holding a card and sees an image of a banana.  

Player 2 says something like, “Is it a shoe?”

Player 1 has to respond by starting out with saying something like “No, because it's not something you wear.”

Player 2 guesses another specific noun, and then another.  He or she might say “Is it a chair?”

Player 1 might say "No, because you don't sit on it.

Player 2 continues to guess, and might say "Is it a car?"

Player 1 might say "No, because you don't drive it."

Player 2 continues to guess, and might say "Is it broccoli?"

Player 1 might say "No, because it's sweeter."

Player 2 might say "Is it an apple?"

Now that Player 2 has guessed a fruit, he’s pretty close.  

Player 1 can now say something like "No, but it is a fruit."

Player 2 now just starts guessing different fruits until he or she gets it.

This can be a challenging game that requires a good amount of thought, and you really have to tell your students who are guessing that they can’t ask question about what’s on the card.  They can ONLY ask if it’s a specific noun.  The player holding the card can’t answer YES or NO.  They really need to remember that their response has to begin with NO, BECAUSE…

This is a fun game that will really get your students speaking, and you’ll love hearing them as they play it!

Weather Vocabulary - ESL Taboo Speaking Game

Playing TABOO is a great way to get ESL students to speak English and learn a lot of new vocabulary. This game is simple to modify and use with beginners and advanced students alike. In this WEATHER version of the game there are 30 playing cards. I've included 2 fun ways to play this fun vocabulary game and both are explained in the instructions.

This ESL Taboo game includes the following:
⇨ How to play classic Taboo (beginner and advanced levels)
⇨ 30 Taboo game cards to print, laminate, cut out and hook together with a ring
⇨ PDF for projecting one card at a time for a whole class activity
⇨ How to play 15 MINUTES MAX - an alternative version of the game
⇨ 15 MINUTES MAX game board

Object of the game:

One player tries to get his teammate to guess the word at the top of a card. The player must give clues, but he can't use any of the Taboo words in his description. The taboo words are written beneath the word at the top of the card. Teams score points for each word successfully guessed. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Beginner students should be allowed to use the TABOO words printed on the cards. This will encourage them to use new vocabulary and will help them in forming sentences to use as clues.

Festive way to make connections:

Students read or watch A Christmas Carol and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, my students read A Christmas Carol and watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas, for an engaging activity before the holiday. A Christmas Carol was a challenge for the students, so watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas was a fun distraction.

Students will take notes on the provided worksheets to help keep track of information and make connections in a visual format. Notetaking helps keep students engaged in both stories. This also helps the students look at well know material in a new way.

This active and engaging resource gets students moving and discussing. Students will make paper snowballs out of the provided cards. They will then use these for a snowball fight. When time is up, students will find a partner, uncrumple the paper, and have a discussion.

Students can reach connections and have discussions with the information they gather.

What's included:

• A Christmas Carol and How the Grinch Stole Christmas worksheets for notes
• Topics include: character, setting, theme, conflict, language, plot, and resolution.
• Answer keys for the students.
• A Christmas Carol and How the Grinch Stole Christmas cards for creating paper snowballs.

Why this resource is helpful:

• Print and go worksheets are easy for teachers.
• Seasonal work which helps practice essential language skills.
• Answer key provided.
• Directions included.
• Students enjoy an indoor snowball fight.
• The nature of the activity causes random topics for discussion each round.
