Tips for helping kids apply their knowledge


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have recommendations for any games or tips to help kids with their output/practice retrieving their knowledge from their "memory bank" quicker? A subject, in which I observe this difficulty, is science. If I teach a lesson at home, both my girls seem to have a full understanding of the subject, we do hands on experiments/demonstrations and discussions. If we go on a field trip and they are discussing something we have learned, other kids seems to be able to answer the questions quickly and without difficulty. I do not believe it is a confidence or knowledge issue, just a speed issue. I know it may come with time/age, which is why I was looking for something fun. Thanks!

Jeopardy helps if it is a speed issue.

 

Google for science jeopardy or any subject jeopardy.

 

My boys doesn't like answering questions on field trips though if there are parents/caregivers around. If it is a room full of just the participating kids, my boys would respond fast.
