Activity: Charades
You’ll need:
• 10 cards containing song titles
• 2 envelopes (5 cards per envelope)
• stopwatch
Mechanics:
• Divide the group into two.
• Let the group choose a leader.
• Provide each team with one envelope
containing song titles.
Activity: Charades
Mechanics:
• The team leader chooses 5 players.
• Toss a coin to determine which team goes
first.
• When a player receives his/her charades
card, he/she must act it out.
• Players cannot speak, point at objects, or
move their lips.
Activity: Charades
Mechanics:
• Members of the other team cannot make a
guess. Doing so would penalize them by giving
the point automatically to their opponent,
provided the answer given is correct.
• The team is given 30 seconds to guess the
word or phrase correctly.
• Give one (1) point for each correct answer.
• Then, teams take alternating turns until the
five players have acted out the song title.
Answer the following questions:
• What have you learned from doing this
activity?
• What made you win?
• If you were to repeat the game, what
possible changes will you make to win it?
• What 21st century skills were developed
in this activity?
• What instructional approach is most
evident here? Why?

for Collaborative
Learning

1. Role Play

2. Creating
Learning
Stations

 provides different
types of content
by setting up
learning stations
— divided
sections of your
classroom
through which
groups of
students rotate. Source:
https://blog.edpuzzle.com/teaching-today/complete-
guide-station-rotation-model/
Creating Learning
Stations
Students can rotate Source:

between stations that https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/illustration-stickman-kids-watching-

reindeer-rabbit-1146105665

involve:
 Watching a video
 Creating artwork
 Reading an article
 Completing puzzles
 Listening to you
teach
3. "Think-Pair-
Share (TPS)"

 an active-
participation
technique in
which students
are encouraged to
participate even if
they don't really
care about the
subject (Lyman, Source:
https://twitter.com/cbelifescied/status/
1982; Marzano & 1351617941629005826

Pickering, 2005).
"Think-Pair-Share
(TPS)"
 Learners work
together and
attempt to
answer Source:

questions or https://k-12talk.com/2020/05/14/sharing-the-
task-of-learning-using-think-pair-shares-in-a-

 also known as
the ‘turn and
talk’ Source:

Applying TPS
across Learning Areas

Language
If the class is reading
Romeo and Juliet by
William Shakespeare, try
TPS to respond to questions
such as, "Should Juliet
have gone ahead to love
Romeo?’’ Either way,
explain your answer. Source:

Mathematics
Try TPS for Source:

math problems with 2018/07/logic-puzzle-question-math-
with-answer.html

more than one correct

answer, such as logic,
estimation and
patterns.
Applying TPS
across Learning Areas

Social Studies
Start up a TPS
discussion by asking a broad
question on social skills relevant
to a new subject of study, such
as, "What do you already know
about the Russia-Ukraine War?"
As students get into more
complex topics, you might ask Source:
questions such as, "Would you https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/04/20/
mariupol-ukraine-russia-siege-putin-
have agreed to volunteer to go to offensive-eastern-ukrainian-forces/

Ukraine to help the wounded?

Why or why not?"
Applying TPS
across Learning Areas

Science
For instance,
before conducting an
experimental study on
density, students may be
asked to employ the think-
pair-­share approach when Source:

choosing which objects calculate-density-609604

will sink in a basin of

water.
3. Jigsaw Activity
 a specific type of
information gap
activity that work
best when used
with the whole
class
 a grouping strategy
in which the
members of the
class are organized
into groups then Source:

How Jigsaw Activities
Work?
1. Divide the class into
‘expert’ groups of four
to six learners (keeping
the groups the same
size as far as possible).
Give each group a
letter, or a color, or
other name. Then ask Source:

the learners within https://www.dreamstime.com/d-

business people-finishing-house-
puzzle-rendered-illustration-
each group to number image142737671

themselves one to four

(or one to six).
How Jigsaw Activities
Work?
2. Give each group a
section of text or
information (this can be
in pictorial form). The
group should spend some
time reading, discussing
and helping each other to
understand the text or Source:
information. For a more https://www.dreamstime.com/stoc
k-photo-d-men-holding-colourful-

in-depth activity, the jigsaw-image45281684

group may use ICT and

reference books to further
research a sub-topic.
How Jigsaw
Activities Work?
3. Learners, who are
now ‘experts’ on the
own section of text or
information, then
move into ‘jigsaw’
groups, with a
Source:
shared number, i.e. https://thephysicaleducator.com/2020/02/20/
jigsaw-learning-in-physical-education/
all the number ones
work in a group, all
the number twos
work in another
group, etc.
How Jigsaw
Activities Work?
4. Each ‘expert’
learner in turn
shares with their
‘jigsaw’ group the
section of text or
information they
were originally
given. The others Source:
https://thephysicaleducator.com/2020/02/20/jigsaw-
ask questions to learning-in-physical-education/

ensure all have a

good understanding.
How Jigsaw Activities
Work?
5. The ‘jigsaw’ group
together complete a task
which requires them to
understand all of the
information shared by
each ‘expert’. This could
be anything that requires
each learner to
contribute their piece of
expert knowledge: filling Source:

oncept.jpg
completing a diagram,
designing a poster,
devising a role play, etc.
Applying Jigsaw in
Science
• Create 5 groups.
• Each group has 2
subgroups.
• One subgroup (SG1) Source:
https://www.thinglink.com/scene/363689152119570433
studies habitats of
rainforest animals.
• another subgroup (SG2)
studies predators of
rainforest animals.

Applying Jigsaw in
Science
• Students meet with
members from other
groups who are assigned
the same aspect (all
SG1s and all SG2s)
• After mastering the
material, return to the
"home" group and teach
the material to their

group members. method/
Application:
Directions: Design an activity based on your
learning area using the collaborative
approach integrating any of the four (4)
sample strategies.
• Let’s form four (4) groups.
• Count off 1,2,3,4…1,2,3,4…
• Follow the strategy to use according to
group number:
1 – Role Play 3 - Think-Pair-Share
2 - Creating Learning 4 - Jigsaw
Stations
FACT:
Collaborative
learning has
been shown to
result in higher
student
achievement,
higher self-
esteem, and
higher
motivation.
