’Round the Bases Active Learning Tool provides an opportunity for students to review important content from any unit prior to completing an assessment. The baseball game format is staged just like America’s favorite pastime and designed to be played in a friendly, competitive format that requires everyone in the class to be engaged (in other words, no one stays in the dug-out for this activity; everyone will eventually have a chance “at bat”). Teams are encouraged to cheer on their teammates as they step up to the plate to answer a question or define a vocabulary term from the unit of study, but it is also beneficial for all players to listen closely to the questions posed to each team at bat so that a total review of terms and content is achieved prior to completing the assessment.
'Round the Bases can be used to reinforce vocabulary or to review concepts from a variety of lessons. Questions specific to The Fundamentals of Investing 2.4.4 are provided.
Upon completion of this lesson, participants will be able to:
-
Review content in an interactive and meaningful way
-
Define words associated with the lesson
-
Explain concepts from the lesson
This is a perfect tool to use right before a test. I wear a referee shirt or a baseball cap as props to class when we do this lesson/activity. Hint: Def give each team a small dry erase board or a piece of paper to write down the lineup. That way all kids participate. #EngagedLearning builds confidence.
