Title: Water Word Wonders
supplies(list)
- A paper sheet cut into squares for a game
Procedure to develop game:
- I researched different approaches in water education lesson plans for young kids. I looked into a variety of lesson plans to see which teaching methods teachers use.
- I brainstormed about topics and then searched and found good lesson plans; some of them were on songs and drawing your community, but not exactly what I was hoping to find that aligned with my ideas for a lesson plan for our partners.
- After analyzing the lessons, I was inspired to build my own lesson that went with what JJKFAN wanted, so fun and interactive. My inspiration was to make a game that kids would like, and it’s a fun way to teach them definitions and terms through a matching game.
- I started building a matching game, then looked into the words that I wanted for the game and definitions, and the last part was just to add pictures. Send them to Dr. Martinez for feedback and make some last-minute modifications.
Steps for students:
Questions for student interaction – interactive portion (what did you do?)
From just looking at the picture, can you tell what they are trying to explain?
What are the definitions that can be related to other pictures and words?
Does the group have any questions about the pictures?
Tips and tricks or things to avoid (recommendations):
Avoid having more than three people per group so everyone gets a turn and can work together to match the picture words to the definitions.
Sometimes it’s easy to read the definition for the kids so they can understand the meaning if they don’t understand a word. Also note that every group is different, and some kids will want to read the definition themselves.
