Bank slides
Under bench slides means a school competition in class to test the knowledge of students.
Game content
As the game progresses, the game leader, who is usually the teacher, asks questions. Examples of such questions can be just vocabulary or arithmetic problems, but also more complex questions.
Course of the game
The students sitting there are asked in the order of the benches. To do this, there must be at least two students at a school desk. The student who can answer the question correctly the fastest wins. If several students are equally fast, a decision question is asked for them. Whoever has lost remains seated at the bench that was just played. The winner is allowed to move to the next bank, hence the term bank slide . Then this student competes against the students sitting there. This continues, skipping empty banks without asking a question.
Playing
The game ends after a specified time or when several rounds of questions have been completed. The winner is the student who "slipped benches" the most.
variants
- Anyone who answers a question incorrectly is considered a loser.
- The questions are asked by the students whose turn it is not at the bank.
Purpose of the game
The playful learning effect makes it pedagogically valuable and motivating. Often that is Bank slipping played in elementary school, because it contributes to a loosening of teaching.
