CREATIVE WAYS OF TEACHING

In subjects such as languages, math it is proposed games like “bingo with verbs” or “domino”. In order to carry out these activities we share the room in groups and we give the students tables or cards we have elaborated previously. Another possibility could be to make the activity with the group as a whole. Among Internet webpages we could find many different examples of these types of games: rules, material, and new ideas.

Another option is “Thematic Gymkhana”. In our school, we celebrate two annually: Literary and mathematic ones. In the last one, we participate with the rest of schools of our town. It is made indoors and outdoors.Students compete with each other’s testing their knowledge and skills in finding information. Another way to work this methodology is through the "webquests" so that students don’t need to move physically.

Something curious that we perceive when we work these activities is that students are not aware that they are acquiring skills and content that has to do with the agenda and what surprised them easy to results content learned during the sessions.

In addition, when they go back home and their parents ask them what they have done in class, they respond that they have been playing, which you will be shocked at first, but after seeing the results, they celebrate gladly and welcome this method.
