Kahoot!

Last year, I observed a classroom using Kahoot! It is a free game reminiscent of when you play trivia against others at sports bars. You can create your own Kahoot games or find pre made games.

It works like this: you create questions (or find a game) that can have up to four answers with pictures. When your game is created, you launch it and give your students the game code. They create a nickname to play that doesn't require them to create an account. Once the game starts, you need to be able to project the question and the students can answer on their smart devices or computers.

My students absolutely love it! In fact, some of them have started writing their own review games and sharing them with me.

Feel free to check out my science and math Kahoot games! My user name is tmschield.

Freebie Focus: All About Me Science Beaker

I hunted for new and free resources and found this get-to-know-me activity. It is a beaker for students to complete on themselves and can be found here . The creator, The Crafty Teacher TX , permitted me to share this resource. It is appropriate for a middle school classroom and has questions that are great ice-breakers, like if you were on a deserted island, what three things would you need? This could be assigned on the first day of school or completed in class and posted on the walls.
