Bingo!

Let's play a game...

Ever been to a school board meeting and wondered how they can be more lively? No worries. A reader sent along this gem to The Hall Monitor to help out. There may be a council or county version of this game but we haven't seen it yet.

To play click the read more link. Enjoy.

Do you get bored at educational-ese school board meetings? Try this.
1. Before (or during) the next meeting, prepare yourself by drawing a
square. I find that 5" x 5" is a good size. Divide the card into
columns-five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch
blocks.
2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
No child left behind
Test scores
Core competencies
Communication
Standards
Multiple exposures
Benchmarks
Proactive
Win-win
Think outside the box
Action plan
Result-driven
Assessments
Knowledge base
At the end of the day
Touch base
Mindset
Differentiated
Retention
Skills
Background knowledge
Effective learning
Exemplars
Implementation
Reflection
3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those
words/phrases.
4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally
you win.
5. Any number can play.
