Dominos Recapping Method



Dominos is game I use to recap on previous weeks work, it keeps the students up to date with their revision and it also helps the students that missed the previous lesson. I have been using this method for a year and it has been very effective the results have improved and the students enjoy using them.
How it works is that a worksheet contains 4 to 10 rectangle boxes with the questions in them and another 4 to 10 boxes with the answers in them. The aim is to match the answers to the questions. If the learners are not to sure about the answer they can leave it to the end and what is left over they can match it.
This type of assessment is effective for consoladating learning.
The disadvantages I have experienced is that certain learners just guess with the answers and at times struggle to answer the question.

Overall it is a fruitful method and for inclusion of my two slightly impaired students I cater for them as well. One student requires a blue background with white writing and there requires a 20 times roman font.
