Games - two KS3 examples

Description

At Our Lady's Catholic High School in Lancashire, Adrian Gormally works with his colleague Mary Cooch to bring games based learning into his Yr7 geography class. They use customisable games which they either have a licence to use or which are available free online. The class begins with a revision game on climate change which the students play together on the interactive whiteboard. If the students answer the multiple choice question correctly, they have the chance to add to their score by taking a penalty shoot-out goal. The students then work in groups on the school's VLE to play a drag-and-drop game also focused on climate change.
