Not too long ago I had no idea what a task card was or how it could effectively be utilized in the classroom. I did some research and what I found was that task cards were simply worksheets, broken down into individual questions posted onto cue cards and I wasn't really that impressed. I started thinking about what I could do to make task cards into an engaging, high energy review game.
Since then I've started amassing a diverse supply of activities which are listed below.
These Task Card resources are unique. They can be utilized in a clue gathering, puzzle solving, highly active and engaging activity and/or as an alternative to worksheet review in an individual or group setting. These activities provide 45 minutes of high energy, competitive engagement that sneaks in a lot of review even for those students who are usually against such things.
