Memory Game
Overview
This game follows the format of the traditional game Memory. Cards are placed
face-down on the table. Students flip over two cards at a time. If the cards
make a pair, they take those cards off the board and go again. If the cards
don't make a pair, they flip the cards face-down again and the next student
tries.
In this game, "pairs" are made by matching a term with a definition, "if" statements
with "then" statements, images with labels, etc.
How to use it in class
- Especially good for lower-level memorization tasks like terms and definitions.
- Quick review after a large "information dump" from readings
or lectures - great for waking up students in the middle of a long lecture!
- Chapter review exercise
Preparation and materials needed
- Prepare question/answer cards. This is one case where questions and answers
must be on separate cards.
