GAMES





The use of games is crucial in classrooms as games are both enjoyable and a good source of information. Below are some of the games that you can use in your classroom.





Kahoot

Kahoot is a game-based response system. You can create a quiz on the site, display the questions in the classroom and your students can answer them using their smartphones or tablets. At the end of the game, we also have a winner. It is a highly engaging game to use in the classroom. It's also simple to use.


Socrative

Socrative is also an online response system. Teachers create quizzes and polls, and get  response from your students. Another good point of Socrative is that students get instant feedback.


Plickers

Plickers allows you to get feedback from your students like Kahoot and Socrative. However, unlike them, your students don't have to have any devices for you to use Plickers. Each student is given a card with a unique visual code. Students hold the cards in a way that the letter they chose is at the top of the card. Then the teacher scans the classroom to get their answers.
