Connect a game to the concept you are teaching. After play, bring the choices and reasoning back into the classroom conversation.

Picture Spell
Name the pictured object, then choose and order the letters to spell it.
ASK AFTER PLAY
“Which letters helped you work out the word?”
SPATIAL REASONING · Grades 1–5
Pyramids
Match the side view of a coloured stack with the way it looks from above.
ASK AFTER PLAY
“Which parts of the stack will you still see?”
USE IT IN THE WAY YOU TEACH
A game can fit into several parts of a lesson.
Demonstrate to the class
Play a round together. Invite students to explain a choice before you reveal the answer.
For example
Ask the class which two numbers make ten, then compare the pairs they suggest.
Set individual practice
Choose a game for a skill you have introduced and assign it as a challenge.
For example
After practising spelling, assign a picture-word game and ask students to explain one clue.
Work with tuition groups
Use the classroom tools with a smaller group. Choose games to suit your learners and topics.
For example
Demonstrate a reasoning puzzle, then ask each learner to describe the rule they noticed.
