Verbal Volleyball

This is a good opener or closing activity for reviewing class material. It can engage all learners in the review and work with large or small groups.

How?

  • In pairs, students will review as many key concepts from class that they can remember.
  • Student A will shout out any concept, idea, issue covered in class (make sure student explains idea), followed by Student B.
  • Students will continue volleying concepts back & forth until they run out of ideas.
  • They cannot repeat something said by their partner. Spend approx. 8-10 min doing this.
  • Once in large group ask students for 1 concept/ idea and explain it.
  • Once all have shared the leader can list any concept that may have been missed or needs further discussion.
