Comprehension Capers – Scoot Game
Scoot is such a fun way to review a topic or practise new skills at the end of a unit! Students race around the room to answer each of the question cards using their literal comprehension skills to answer questions about a text. There are both fiction and non-fiction texts supplied with this activity.
Students play individually or in pairs. Read the text as a whole class and leave displayed on your TV or IWB. Alternatively, you may choose to print off the text or comic version of the text to distribute to each student or pair.
