This excellent resource can used to suit a range of learners both in lower and upper school. Dingbats make an excellent starter, mini plenary or plenary to help spice up the learning and help students learn important key words, concepts and facts through a series of card games.

I usually get my students to play one of the following games:

Game 1: Read out the key words until your partner or group have guessed the topic at the top of the card.

Game 2: Try and describe the topic without using the key words until your partner has correctly guessed the topic.

Game 3: Describe the topic using Pictionary

Game 4: Describe the topic using charades

I usually add an element of competition by getting my students to keep a score of how well they have done in the back of their books. You’d be amazed at seriously they take the competitive element, but this all helps to serve the greater good by engraining the key words and concepts that they need to learn for this topic.

Another great way of using this resource is to give out one card and ask individuals or groups to prepare a discussion or a talk for 4 minutes on the topic card. Again this helps to improve their speaking and listen skills and by default their ability to write about the topic.

If you like this resource you want to check out my TES shop of follow ‘The History Academy’ on twitter, Facebook or Google Plus. We even have our own YouTube channel with free videos to download.
