Learning tree

Subcategories and tags
The learning tree is based on education and its connection to the daily lives of students. If the students know how to apply what they learn to their own lives, they will undoubtedly become more responsible and curious.
Friend and Foe Game: In this activity, students are divided into two groups and are named two by two with synonyms and words of the same meaning. Then we tell them that whenever I say a word, the synonym of that word must raise their hand or close their eyes, for example: sun and Phoebus or sky and sphere.
Sentence Envelope: In this method, we place the words we have written out from the lesson into an envelope, and these words contain all the parts of a sentence, such as verb, subject, noun, and adjective. We ask the students to take turns taking the words out of the envelope and making sentences with them.
Look and Find: In this method, we prepare cards using colored paper and write a word on each card. Then we give them to the students who are divided into groups and we write words on the board and ask them to find the written words within the specified time. The student who finds the most words wins the game.
Different and Indifferent: In this method, students are divided into groups and given a number of specific or general words. Among these words, there is one word that is different from the others that the students must find and read. Whichever team finds it first wins the game.
Inconsistent Sentences: In this method, we create several packs containing 4 cards and write a sentence on each one. 3 of the sentences must be related to each other and another sentence must be unrelated to the topic. After giving the cards to the students, the student reads his sentences to the others and announces the sentence that is not related to the other sentences. If it is correct, he keeps the cards and creates a text from it. In this way, students learn text coherence and the formation of text from sentences.
Punctuation: In this method, students are divided into groups of 5 person and we give each group a card containing the lesson text with all the punctuation marks removed and ask them to write them in the correct way and use the punctuation marks. Whichever team finishes its text first is the winner.
Correct the texts: In this activity, we draw a picture of a famous character on a chart and give the students information about it. After that, we divide the students into groups of 5. We give the groups cards with texts from the lesson that contain spelling errors such as missing periods, deleting words, and changing the text. The group that was able to correct the text within the specified time wins the game.
