The goal of the student with the pencil is to quickly and accurately fill out the 'worksheet.' The goal of the students with the dice is keep rolling until they roll a six. One student in the pair also needs a pencil. Student desks should be cleared of everything except the 'worksheet,' which should be face down until the game has begun. It's very simple (particularly if you have even numbers).Įach student needs a partner. I learned the following activity at the Ron Clark Academy from a social studies teacher there. Well, when you do, know that there is still a way to engage students in the process no matter what content you teach. As much as we hate worksheets, and prefer to call them handouts, there are, on rare occasions, times when we may find it necessary for whatever reason to give students 'worksheets.'
