Sharing Good Practice

From Carla Bevington, KS3 Co-ordinator, ICT

To make more use of lead learners in the classroom.  Key Word Bingo.

WHAT: Students sat in groups, two lead learners to leave the room/go in stock cupboard with their book and discuss previous learning for 2 minutes.

WITH: Year 7 and 8 students to show lead learners, key words, group work, competition, differentiation and push the higher ability students. 

HOW: Students sat in groups and write key words from their previous lesson on 1 whiteboard.  Choose a script for the group. Try to build competition, having prizes for the winning group works well.  Allow the lower ability students to look through their book to recap prior learning.  Students who have left the room return and discuss previous learning for 1 minute.  If a key word is mentioned by the lead learner, this is then ticked off on the whiteboard by the group.  The winning group is the group with the most key words crossed off.


IMPACT: A quick way of recapping previous learning, shows lead learners and builds confidence in the classroom.  Students enjoy the activity especially the competition element.  Allows key words to be reflected on and discussed.
