Why You Should Use Games In Class

Looking for new ideas to review with students? How about some GAMES?!?!?

Now that most if not many of us are back in the classroom, our students need a bit of a refresher! What better way to get their minds back in the game…but with GAMES! 😉

I always found that students learn and retain information better when they are having fun…added with a little competition! Why? Because they get so wrapped up in the game that they forget that they are learning or reviewing! Isn’t that a WIN for everyone! It always amazes me how much students know, remember and how well they help each other when we play games in class. I always love to watch students help one another…even if it is for the sake of winning a game! (It makes my Teacher Mom 💜 happy!)

I always love reviewing with these games in my classroom:

Avalanche:

This is a game that can be played at any time! All you need is the Game Board, Whiteboard with Projector or Smartboard, Dry Erase Markers and Erasers. This is a great way to review verb conjugations and tenses in French.

BRAVO (BINGO):

This is a game that can be played at any time! All you need is the printed game board and different colored writing utensils for students. This is a great way to review vocabulary in French.

Chair Game:

This is a game that can be played at any time! All you need is the Game Board, 4 Chairs Labeled, Whiteboard with projector or Smartboard, markers and erasers. This is a great way to review vocabulary, verb conjugations or even writing sentences in French. The students will beg you to play this again and again!!!

Roll 6:

This is a game that can be played at any time! All you need is the printed game board, and one writing utensil and dice per team. This is a great way to review verb conjugations and tenses in French.

*You can find all of these games in my French Games Bundle! Or if you just need one or two, they are for sale individually on my TpT Store.

These games are so much fun! Your students will be begging you to play them again and again! Trust me…they will…everyday….LOL!

Looking for a quick and easy way to review or recap at the end of each class period?

Try my Billet de Sortir. (Did I mention it’s FREE!) The Billet de Sortir was a quick way for me to check for student understanding and comprehension each day.

What are some of your favorite ways to review with students?

As always, I hope that you have found this information useful and helpful to you!

Merci,
