Games You Can Play With Task Cards
Whole Class Game – Scoot: Every child will be given the answer sheet. Have each child stand up behind their chair with their answer sheet and pencil. In front of each child, place one task card. Students are given a time limit of anywhere from 1-3 minutes, and in that time they will have to answer the question on the task card on their answer sheet. Once timer goes off, loudly say “SCOOT,” and students will have to go to the next desk and complete the task card at the desk. They will not collect the task cards and will only be traveling with their answer sheets and pencils. Practice the direction/rotation of students, so they know which is their next desk.
Science Center: Within your daily rotations add a science center. Students can complete these task cards. Cards will hold up better if they are laminated to withstand student use. The answer sheets can be kept in a file folder at the center or students can record their answers in a science notebook.
Quiz- Quiz- Trade: Give each child a task card and pair 2 students together. Students can record their answers on the answer sheet or simply practice verbally their responses. Partner 1 will ask Partner 2 the question on their card. Partner 2 will respond to the question or state that they don’t know the answer. Partner 1 will need to give the answer to the question if it is incorrect. Next partner will read their question. Once both questions have answered, students switch cards and move to the next pairing. It’s best if there is a timer, especially with younger students, and students are not allowed to run or speak loudly/yell.
Small Group Practice: Students that may need extra practice can be pulled in a small group together and go through the practice problems together.
Corners/Bell Ringer: Read the questions to the students in the beginning of class/lesson and have students to answer the question. You can do corners in the room. For example, if the question is ”What type of energy does this image represent?” You can have one corner of the room be “kinetic energy” and the other corner be “potential energy.” For best results, keep these short with 1-3 questions.
