Geography Go-Fish
(Josh Trandall)
This is played like normal Go-Fish.
-
The class is divided into groups of 3-5. Each group has a deck of
cards that have a picture of a country with the country’s name on it and
also cards that have the names of capitals on them.
-
The cards are shuffled and dispersed to the students (each group has its
own deck of cards). The students will then play Go-Fish and try to
mach up the country to its capital.
-
Once the student has matched up all of his/her cards, he/she is the winner.
This game could also be played with the states and capitals and
also in history if doing a test on the presidents or something. The
students would have to match up the president to the correct vice-president.
The winner in each group will then receive a prize. A good way to
make sure the students stay interested is to have the students vote on
a prize as long as the teacher agrees.
