In this fun class, learners will compete in a Kahoot challenge (created by me) to review, strengthen and/or and test their knowledge of state capitals in the U.S. Multiple choice and true/false questions are built in with 20 seconds to complete each question. Kahoot can be accessed by learners on a separate device or on a different tab, using the app or just going to https://kahoot.it/ entering the game pin (that I'll share in class). No Kahoot account is required to participate. *Most learners have used Kahoot before, so if any parents need more information about this engaging game please ask your learners or send me a message. *This class is a game, so the minimum enrollment requirement is essential to ensure a fun learning environment. Some prior knowledge of state capitals would be advantageous for learners who participate, although gamification has been shown to help with memorization and engagement- so learners with less knowledge about state capitals would still benefit from the practice. I will teach this Kahoot challenge enthusiastically, like a game show host, and encourage everyone to do their personal best- and to also have fun! While Kahoot is competitive, all students should treat each other with respect and kindness. This will be a positive classroom competition. If interested but outside of the age-range, please send me a message. My availability is set to allow parents to self-book this class for days/times that are preferred.
