Why ANSWERS UP! works in the classroom!
This is simply the BEST WAY for kids to review for tomorrows TEST!
I’ve seen it work and I’ve played it in the classroom. I saw how involved the kids got into the game, and I was simply AMAZED at the response from the kids! The kids loved to play it, so yes, it has the excellent play value that is desired.
Students know that WINNING this game will count, so they are very competitive in this activity.
This game is UNIQUE in that the teachers determine what they want their students to learn, thus creating the questions for this game.
The teachers determine how long the games played, how hard or easy it will be and what kind of discussions can lead from those questions and answers.
The game’s format is not subject specific, so the English teacher can share ANSWERS UP! with the Social Studies teacher, who can share it with the Science and the Foreign Language teacher.
Its extremely portable and easy for teachers to take with them when they have to transfer rooms.
Its great to use as a lesson plan for when SUBSTITUTE teachers come in.
ANSWERS UP! takes only minutes to setup, can be stopped at anytime and takes only minutes to collect.
The GREATEST BENEFIT in playing this game is that the students will remember answers they had to find, they might see on the next days TEST.
