moving around, active and alert. Good
at the start of a session or to wake
people up further in.
Materials required

possible.
Notes
Try to make sure you get a fair mix
between the preferences or the
discussion bit of this won’t work.

Library Bingo
Uses
Any point where you may want to run
through a list of items.
Examples: inductions or sources of
information.
Materials required
A small piece of coloured card (A5 or
A6) for each member of the class.
Notes
Brightly coloured card works well. A
small prize is nice for the winners.
Games
TV Games – Who wants to be a
millionaire?
Uses
Get more active learning into the
session.
Encourage competition between
members of the class.
Materials required
Quizdom (or similar) handsets.
Notes
Good to use at the middle or end of a
session to see what has sunk in.
Warn students early on that there will
be a ‘test’ or quiz’
