This is a sepcial activity -
Several ways to run this - as designed here it's a'pick up and play' version of an activity that would take lots of prep in the classroom with resources, You could still run the lesson like that, but if you prefer you can do it via LessonUp.
Two main ways to use this slide.
1) have it projected on the class screen and invite groups of three-four to come up to the front to perform the activity.
Spin the spinner to get a word. One member of the group is the leader who must direct the others to make a representation of the object from the spinner within the time limit. You can adjust the time limit or the words of course!
The rules are actually pretty loose - in fact, if a group leader breaks the rules or a member of the team does, it's fine! It becomes a discussion point! There are rules for the groups in the hotspot.
This could be stressful for some students so you could use volunteers or....
Method 2 is to share the screen with learners and have them use one device to work together to make an image,
Many touchscreens may ony cope with one student touching the screen at a time - make sure you test this activity out yourself before running it! It should work but I can't tell your individual set up!!!
How did you feel during that task? What would you change?
A reflective task for the last activity.
