Clicker 5 Labelling Activities
Labelling activities can be used to help students succeed in a number of ways.
Introduce and reinforce key words
Pop-up grids are great for labelling – whether matching text to a picture, or matching pictures to text. Simply click on a blank cell to view the pop-up grid, and then select the option that matches. Right-click (Mac: Ctrl-click) to listen to the options before you make a selection!
In the examples below, pictures are labelled with a pop-up word bank appearing below the picture. Simply choose the correct word to match the picture. Have the same pop-up for all the pictures, or a different pop-up for each picture – the choice is yours!
Support all topic areas with any picture or photograph, and in any language!
Clicker comes with a high-quality graphics library – plus you can use your own photos, or photos from the Internet!
Labelling activities are ideal for teaching modern foreign languages – especially when using one of the MFL speech engines.
Reinforce and enhance numeracy
Labelling activities enhance and reinforce numeracy in many ways – take a look at the various free resources at the LearningGrids.com website!
Label and classify objects
Why stop at one pop-up grid? Use two different pop-ups to both label AND classify a picture!
Engage a whole class or group in an interactive activity
This weather chart is a perfect quick and useful group whiteboard activity to start the day. Students take it in turns to access the pop-up grids to complete the chart. LearningGrids.com also contains another activity to complement this, which provides a written record of the activity.
