1. Types of assessment - some definitions
3. Traffic Lights
- Traffic Lights is another classic children’s drama game with endless possibilities! In the traditional version, the teacher calls out a colour and students complete the action associated with that colour. For example:
- “Red!” – students freeze
- “Orange!” – students stand on one leg
- “Green!” – students walk around the space
Increase the complexity and add curriculum connections by modifying the calls and actions. You can make the actions specific to a situation or to characters from a familiar narrative. You may even like create actions that connect with key terms from a mathematics or science unit.
For example, when teaching students how to tell the time you may like to use some of these variations:
- “Clockwise!” – students walk in a clockwise direction
- “Anti-clockwise!” – students walk in an anti-clockwise direction
- “AM!” – students stretch up to the sky
- “PM!” – students lay on the floor
