 Board games in large classes
Anyone have experiences of this?
I'd just spent a fair amount of time on creating a board game on Powerpoint: Snakes and Ladders. My class is usually around 60 students, aged 12-14, and I split them into 4 teams.
When it is their turn, the team throws a dice, and move on the board accordingly. When they hit a snake, they go down a few blocks; a ladder, they go up.
They then answer an advice question (e.g. I'm always late for school, what should I do?), and then it's the next team's go.
Usually games like this go down a treat in class. However, today it went down terribly. Kids were bored, and I had a hard time keeping them quiet and concentrating.
Any ideas why? |
