Three engaging classroom games to familiarise learners with keywords for the transition metals topic, based on Jeopardy!, Articulate! and Taboo

Familiarise learners with keywords for the transition metals topic by exploring definitions in three engaging classroom games. Learners will develop understanding, vocabulary and thinking skills by writing questions, using key terminology in different sentences and avoiding ‘taboo words’.

Games are fun! They are competitive and engaging and provide a safe environment to take a risk without the fear of getting an answer wrong.
