More Recap Methods

Here are a few extra methods for repeating.

  • True/False questions: make some statements, the group raises hands if they think it is true.

  • teamquiz: two teams, 50% of the questions go to one team, 50% to both (whoever answers faster)

  • interview questions, ask participants to answer one of them in a mini-speech

  • prepare questions on cards; ask participants to move around, ask someone else a question, exchange cards and move on

  • mind-mapping: place a central concept (or concept map) on the board; add other concepts around it together

  • 2-minute-quiz: ask participants to write down a take home message and one open question at the end of the lesson

  • Infographics: Place cheat sheets / infographics in the room, so that participants see them all the time. You don’t have to do anything else, just let the knowledge slowly trickle in.

  • ask 3 participants to summarize the lesson in 60 seconds.

  • leaning parcours: place 8-10 small + easy exercises in the room, let students move around and complete them

  • share links to online videos / online events / web pages for recap

  • teacher draws diagram showing the main concepts from the day

  • fill-in-blanks exercises

  • debug a prepared piece of code

  • show a piece of code, let students anticipate the output

  • prepare a question pool of easy questions

  • ask them for their questions (and preserve the right not to answer them)
