Prompt cards offer a straightforward yet powerful tool for discreetly implementing differentiated instruction.
These cards can be employed in numerous ways after distribution among learners:
Topic Introduction: To assess existing knowledge levels.
Session Review: To reinforce material from a previous or current lesson.
Flexible Learning: As a quick activity or enrichment opportunity.
Revision Activities: For engaging review games.
Here are some suggested strategies for utilizing prompt cards:
Group Research: Distribute cards to group members, task them with independent research, and have them share their findings with the group.
Individual Recall: Provide cards to learners, then ask each learner to detail everything they know about their card's topic, followed by group discussion.
Time-Limited Responses: Impose a one-minute time limit per card to accelerate the lesson's pace.
Team Quiz (Key Word Identification):
This is a timed competition where the team that accurately identifies the most prompt cards wins.
Divide the class into teams.
Only one team participates at a time, while the others observe.
Place a learner in a "hot seat" and display a prompt card behind them, visible to all teams.
The "hot seat" learner must guess the card's content based on clues provided by their teammates.
Upon a correct guess, the learner exits the "hot seat" and is replaced by the next teammate.
Continue this process until the timer expires (2-3 minutes per team).
(Note: This game is energetic, rapid-paced, and potentially noisy. Be prepared.)
Recognise that prompt card usage can stimulate extensive discussion. If not managed, this could consume significant class time; conversely, it can be used for a full-session activity.
