Board+Games

As an investment tool and a way to give the students extra practice, I had them break into groups and play board games for some of the units. Assembling the board game materials does take some time, but they really helped classroom management and mastery of the material. You will need to print of a game board and game cards for each group. I printed them on different colors of cardstock (a different color for each group). Some of them require you to fill information in (like element names). However, this allows you to make a different set of questions for each group. You could even have a high group and low group by changing the questions. I usually make one more set of cards than I have groups, that way if a group finishes early, they can swap out cards for new questions. You will also need to purchase a set of dice (which you can get at Walmart or Target).

For bingo, print of the cards and cut them out. You can have the students make their own card. Just give the students a list of the words to write in on their bingo cards. Then you can call bingo questions from cards or have it on a Power Point, and the students should find the answers on their bingo card. The blank jeopardy cards are a great way for students to do extra credit by writing out their own jeopardy categories, questions, and answers.
