The activity can be used in the classroom or at home to help students grasp concepts or ideas more easily and complete their homework. Parents can help their children by having them put information into their own words and by explaining the material to show understanding. Students follow specific instructions, check for the answer location, validate correctness, recall information, and practice summarization, writing, and logical reasoning while participating in the game. This tactic helps students become selective in their wording, use self talk, and think through what they are going to say before they say it. Participants offer constructive criticism so all students practice working as a team and at the same time, learn to listen to other people's ideas.
Individuals study content and explain the main idea they ascertain from the reading.
They offer details to support their conclusion and share their reasoning. By sharing information, everyone gains a wider store of knowledge and picks up images that help with long term memory. They assist each other to fully understand informational material so mastery is possible. Whoever asks the question must be able to answer it and is responsible for a complete and understandable explanation. The strategy enhances communication skills, comprehension, and critical thinking.
