Fun classroom games to group students

Students often tend to play with their buddies. However a good teacher will intervene to ensure that the kids play with other students as well. This will give them a chance to interact with more people and enhance their speaking and interactive skills.

You can group student by writing names of various animals on the paper chits. When the students return from their break they need to pick a chit and read the name of the animal before putting it away. After getting an indication from the teacher they will start miming the cry of the animal. The students can then identify their group members by hearing other students making similar sounds.

Another interesting means to group students is to search for some pictures and glue them on any cardstock. You need to cut them out and shape them like pieces of a puzzle. The number of puzzle pieces should match the number of students in a group. While entering the class, the students pick a puzzle piece. Once every student has a piece, the students start hunting for other students with puzzle pieces which match their own puzzle. The first to complete will be given reward points if they patiently wait for others to finish.

You can make reading a fun activity by giving each of them a word and asking them to look for students whose words rhyme with theirs. These students can then be clubbed into a single group.

If you need to pair students then you can give half the class specific words while the other class has chits with the definitions of the same. The students can then match the words with the definitions and pair together.

While grouping students you can easily revise the lessons learnt and make learning a fun process.
