What is the game teaching method ?
Games are used with one or more participants to practice skills, apply strategies and enhance teams.
What type of preparation is required for an interactive lecture.
-Use attention-getters such as interesting facts, statistics or rhetorical questions to begin the lecture or to introduce new teaching points.
- Prepare participatory questions to encourage cadet participation. Prepare evaluative questions for confirmation of teaching points.
- Obtain or develop training aids to clarify main points. Prepare an in-class activity to avoid lecturing too long.
What type of preparation is required for a Demonstration/Performance lesson
-The instructor must be skilled in the task. Gather all materials necessary to instruct the lesson.
-Break the task down into smaller sequential steps. Practice the lesson to ensure that steps are accurate and clear.
-Prepare a handout outlining the steps, if necessary. Organize the training area so that all cadets can: see the demonstration, and perform the task.
What type of preparation is required for an In-Class Activity lesson
-Create an activity which involves all cadets, which can be conducted within the time allocated. Clearly specify the objective of the activity.
-Obtain all materials necessary to complete the activity. Write out specific instructions describing what participants are supposed to do. Write out specific directions for conducting the activity.
-Arrange for assisting staff, if necessary, to help conduct the activity. Prepare handouts for cadets containing background information. Organize the training area into work / learning stations.
What type of preparation is required for a Practical Activity lesson
-The instructor must be skilled in the task. Gather all materials necessary to instruct the lesson. Organize the training area so that all cadets will have space to perform the task safely.
-Ensure there is enough time to conduct the complete activity or breakdown the task into smaller stages. Prepare a handout outlining the steps, if necessary. Arrange for assisting staff, if necessary. Plan for composition of groups.
What type of preparation is required for an game lesson.
-Develop a simple game with the following characteristics:
is fast to play;

Applications for an Demonstration/Performance lesson
Demonstration Method
The demonstration can be used to:
Teach hands-on operations or procedures
Teach troubleshooting
Illustrate principles
Teach operation or functioning of equipment
Set standards of workmanship
Explain a theory or concept
Or teach safety procedures.
-Performance can be used to:
Teach hands-on operations or procedures

Or teach safety procedures.
Applications for an In-Class Activity lesson
An in-class activity can be used for both knowledge and skill lessons to:
Reinforce instructional objectives
Introduce a subject and generate interest
Present background information
Give direction on procedures
Introduce a demonstration, discussion, or performance
Illustrate the application of rules, principles, or concepts
Create interactivity during a lecture
Or review, clarify or summarize information.
Applications for a Practical Activity lesson.
If it is used to teach new material, it must be combined with other methods to ensure cadets have the necessary background information to complete the activity. The practical activity method can be used to:
Carry out an application
Demonstrate a process
Verify an explanation
Produce a product
Introduce a subject
Teach manipulative operations
Teach procedures
Teach troubleshooting
Illustrate principles
Teach equipment operation
Or teach safety.
Applications for a Game lesson.
Games create variety and arouse interest but must also support learning.
Games can be used to:
introduce a topic;
discover concepts and principles;
learn terminology;
recall terms;
recognize equipment parts;
develop strategies and tactics;
carry out an application;
demonstrate a process;
practice interpersonal skills;
and/or confirm learning.
Development for a Interactive lesson.
Begin the lesson and each teaching point with an attention-getter.
Use presentation aids (flip charts, whiteboard, and/or electronics)
Pay attention to signals of alertness (facial expressions and body language)
Deal with alertness problems (ask questions)
Use visual training aids
Integrate facts to maintain interest
Use participatory questions or short activity
Confirm using questions or activity
Development for a Demonstration/Performance lesson.
Introduce the lesson by demonstrating what the cadets will be able to do at the end
Explain where the skill can be applied and why it is important
Provide a handout outlining the steps if the process is complex
Explain and demonstrate each step in a sequence
Allow cadets maximum time to practice the steps as soon as possible
Positively reinforce everything the cadets do correctly
Supervise the cadets as they practice, providing assistance or re-demonstrations when necessary
Have cadets perform the skill as confirmation
Encourage the cadets to practice beyond class time.
