In this blog I have described a few games that teachers can play with the students in the lessons. For example, we have some games which we can play in our economics lessons. Another method we can apply is to prepare a Kahoot! quiz, which undoubtedly will appeal to most of the students.
In order to have a fun but at the same time educating lesson, teachers have to prepare a quiz on a Kahoot! platform. All we need to do is to sign in the website and create a quiz on the topic which has been taught for a few weeks. Personally, I use this method when I want the students to revise the material. Since they are willing to engage in the innovative activities, students tend to remember more things when they have fun.
However, there might be some obstacles while using this method as not all students have smart phones or the internet connection at school. What should we do then? We can be creative and use the material we have in the classroom. Let's take a sheet of paper and put it into a clear plastic punched pocket folder. Then give the students a highlighter and ask them to write the answers on the folder while playing a Kahoot! game. After the question time is over, ask students to raise the folders above their heads so that you can see the answers. It might also be entertaining as it is an old-fashioned but fun way to get involved in the lesson.
Another obstacle that we can have while doing this activity is the anxiety of the teachers to even start using this method in the classroom. Believe me, once you start creating Kahoot! quizes, you'll never get bored. And your students won't let you forget this method :)
