Students will break into pairs and be given a set of memory game cards. They will play two games:

1.      Each team will be competing against the other teams in the class. Place all date/title cards in order. When the teacher gives the key to start, students will put the events/description in chronological order. This is a race!

2.      The teams will mix up their cards and place them face down. Each student will take a turn and flip over 2 cards. They are trying to match the events with the date they occurred. (Similar to the Memory game we played as kids)

Arrange students in pairs and give them a set of cards. The cards will be used for both games. There will be a either a date or an event written on each card.

Teacher will explain the first game, students will complete it and then the second game will be explained and played.

E-moment: Jeopardy moment. Although this game isn’t jeopardy it is very similar and will affect the students in the same way.
