Crazy Professor Reading Game

This game seems to be very helpful for both students and teachers. Students learn to express their understanding of the reading by using gestures, and teachers get an idea of how students feel about what they are reading. This game is also excellent to foster cooperative work, since students are encouraged to work with partners and discuss what they are reading with them. I believe this game also attracts students attention to literature and the importance of reading, because this activity makes learning fun for them. I think it is a good game to try in class.

I agree with how the game grabs students' attention, which is crucial for children today. As teachers, we fight so many forces for moments of their attention, and this game does a great job of doing that.
