Games

1. Would you rather...
I enjoy Leah's idea of taking attendance to a game of "Would you rather?" so students say their answer for attendance. Example: If you were an animal would you rather live on land or in the water? Students then answer to their name with "land" or "water" instead of "here" or "present". This would be fun on Mondays to liven things up, or Fridays for fun.

2. Eye Know
Trivia game about popular images, and as you know image recognition is a part visual culture and art! Could be fun to use for extra credit, or for a game, or extra credit on a particular project +2 points and only ask one card on Fridays or something.

3. Chicken or the Egg

Another trivia game about what came first, with interesting pop culture topics for questions like Burger King or McDonalds? Then the back of the card gives the trivia answer with interesting facts. Could be fun to use the cards and ask one question each day while students did a warm-up activity and then give the answer at the end up the warm-up. (less art related, more pop-culture related, relevant to students lives though)
