Memory Game Reflection
1. What parts of the task were most enjoyable?
The guessing part and interacting with peers was most enjoyable in this game as it made you feel happy while learning important skills in safety. This is a good technique to use as it uses Bloom's Taxonomy of lower order thinking of remembering.
2. What parts of the task were least enjoyable?
Getting the definitions wrong was less enjoyable in the beginning however as the game progressed and i started remembering the definitions and getting it correct, the game started to get better and more enjoyable. Playing with your peers is good as it provides more confidence in students as they are learning with their friends and are in charge of their own learning and understanding.
3. List FOUR skills you have learnt from completing
this task.
- Learning that there are different types of strategies to teach skills and knowledge

- Learning how to create such activities that will benefit many students
4. Do you feel your colleague successfully constructed
their memory game?
I thought the game provided good definitions and pictures that depicted the safety skill well
5. What were some of the things you found challenging about
this task? How did you overcome the challenges?
Trying to summarise or define the safety skill on a small card was challenging however using point form helped. Students may find the task challenging if they don't know the abbreviations of certain words such as PPE.
6. Suggest areas for improvement in your game and your
colleague partner’s game.
Some areas of improvement could be to get better, clearer pictures and use better definitions for the safety skills.
