Ever hear of "I Have, Who Has" (also known as the loop game)?
If you're not familiar with the game, it's a whole class way to review vocabulary or concept in ANY content area in a way that involves the entire classroom.
Here's How it Works!
Student A: (Reads the word side of his card):
"I have MEEK"
Student A: (Reads the definition side of his card)
"Who has SELF-CENTERED or VAIN"
Student B: (Reads the word side of his card)
"I have CONCEITED"
Student B: (Reads the definition side of his card)
....
This continues until all cards have been read and it leads back to the definition of MEEK where you started.
I used to LABOR over getting one of these games set up. Quizlet, however, solved that problem for me.
Here's how I did it:
#1. Build a set of words and definitions in Quizlet. (Mine are characters and descriptions from the book The Westing Game)
#2. Print them in this format:
#3. Cut apart the cards and lay them side by side in a column.
#4. Remove the bottom word (leave the definition) and bring it to the top.
#5. Slide the remainder of the column down.
#6. Glue together each word with the definition it is next to. (Yes, they are wrong!)
Do this with any content area and any grade level:
- Math Facts!
- Vocabulary words and definitions for any content area
- States (countries) and Capitols
- Synonyms/Antonyms
- Characters in a novel
- Foreign Language Review
Like things a little prettier? Me too! Here's a set I created using the strategy above to determine the card contents/order, but then I created each card in PowerPoint with an attractive font/background.
NOW who has Smarticles?
