This interactive revision game is perfect for starters or plenaries, adding a competitive edge to engage underachieving students, especially boys. Dingbats are interactive flashcards that focus on key words and facts, transforming solo study into a social experience that encourages teamwork and peer assessment.
Regular use, along with the revision strategies outlined in the PowerPoint, will enhance memory skills and help students make crucial connections for exam success. Additionally, the resource introduces students to different types of historical evidence and important terms like biased and reliable, and is provided in Microsoft Word for easy adaptation to your classes.
Upon downloading this lesson, you’ll access a Word document featuring Dingbats for Weimar Germany 1919 – 1933, along with an 18-slide PowerPoint detailing how to utilize them effectively. Game 1 involves one player reading key words while the other guesses the topic, enhancing memory recall. Game 2 challenges players to describe the topic without using key words, making it more difficult. Other fun and competitive activities like Pictionary and Charades are also included. The lesson concludes with strategies for conducting a one-minute class talk and tips for creating your own Dingbats, supported by suggested homework tasks. Both documents are available as PDFs for easy printing and sharing.

Used this resource with my nurture group today and they loved it. I also gave each of my students a card and asked them to give a 30 second talk using the key words on the card. They loved it. The others peer assessed them using their cards to check off the words they had used. Thank you!
A great resource for helping kids revise this topic. They loved the different games.
