Team Shake is used to sort teams. You can set it up for your classes if you want to randomly select teams for a specific activity you may be doing that day. You input the names, number of teams you want or people on those teams and shake your device. It is that simple! Fun and easy to use plus the classes I used it for liked it a lot as well.
Then there is Games for Understanding. We were told by Lee Carter last year that it is a very useful app. It is simply a collection of games for Phys. Ed that is sorted by grade and type. It is very useful for ideas in the gym.
Team shake is a great app. It does something so simple as make teams, but yet the kids love it. It's just as random as numbering off students but yet they love it because it's an app and it's different. I have used it before and I will definitely be using it again.
ReplyDeleteI love some TGFU. A great resource for lots of low-organized games. An awesome resource in the gym!
ReplyDeleteI remember you showing me both of these apps in our first year of teaching at Vincent Massey. I have not used team shake yet but I will definitely be using it. TGFU is a great App. The aspect I like the most about it is it gives you the age level for the games and modifications you can make to the game to make it more challenging or easier depending on your class. Great Post Rod
