Human Dominoes

Ruth Tarrant

1st December 2015

A simple but effective way of reinforcing key terms and definitions is to turn it into a game of Human Dominoes. Print off the key terms onto A4 sheets (one term per sheet), and then print off the definitions onto A4 sheets (again, one per sheet) - make sure that you choose quite a large and easily readable font size. You might also want to use differently coloured paper for the terms to the definitions so that you have two distinct piles of paper that are quickly identifiable.
