It is well documented on my blog how much I love Quizlet live! My co-worker gave me the BEST idea to use Quizlet live for reviewing classroom rules at the beginning of the school year.
Since we loop with our students, they already know our expectations, but it’s still important to remind them, and there are always new students. This year, I put all my policies into Quizlet (which you can modify!) and gave the students 5 minutes to read over them. (Suggestion, have them use the flashcard feature, but select “start with both” so they see the whole thing at once.) After 5 minutes, I started the game. I had planned to play 3-4 times because it’s fast paced, but they begged me to keep playing, so we played for about 15 minutes. They were so incredibly engaged and I didn’t need to do a thing! It worked so well that I did it with my first year students as well, and I’m willing to bet that I won’t have to remind them of things nearly as much as with previous groups where we just read through rules the boring way. Let me know what you think if you try it out as well!
