Using Games to Assess
Student Learning
The Do’s:
� Model Activities: Do they
understand the game?
� Validity: are you assessing
comprehension or spelling
(or both)?
� Reliability: grading
criteria- “Who wins?”
� Consistency: testing
should mirror instruction
The Don’ts:
� Don’t get frustrated if
“they don’t get it at first”
� Don’t penalize for
mistakes that are not in the
scope of the activity.
� Don’t make the rules
complex.
� Don’t test what you have
not taught.
