April 2021 Game Library Updates
You have almost reached the finish line, and you’re probably wondering how you can keep those amazing students of yours engaged throughout the final stretch of this school year! You’ve come to the right place, we’ve got the solution for you!
Students will be preparing themselves for their final tests, assignments, and exams. Our “Always be Prepared - Test Style” game is a very helpful tool that can introduce your students to some studying tips, strategies, and types of questions they may encounter on their test.
Your science students will be getting ready to show you how much they have learned this semester and you will need to assess their understanding! Our “Science Review Challenge” will help them do so in an enjoyable way. Are your English students learning about nonfiction texts? They can explore these helpful resources using technology and participating with their peers in our “Mission Nonfiction” game. Don’t forget about our “Media Centre Chase”, it can help your students understand the components of your school’s media centre.
Finally, your staff need a break from the stress! Give them an opportunity to connect with each other and explore how GooseChase works with the “Cross-Content Instructional Extravaganza” game. It is the perfect opportunity to show them what a game could look like with their students! Alternatively, pivot this game to be one used with your students to give them a break from the school stress as well!
If you think any of these games can be used in your classroom, create an account and add any of the games below directly to your Game Manager. If you’re new to GooseChase, check out our Getting Started Package full of helpful resources!
