Using Gallery Games to enhance lessons

Many of the new gallery games provided by Smart Notebook 10 can be used to enhance Jewish Studies lessons.

Anagram
In order to put these balls in order to spell words in Hebrew you must type the word in backwards in a textbox and then drag and drop into the input box.  Once you have done that you are off and running to play review games for vocabulary and spelling.   I highly recommend using the timer to enhance the game.  The disadvantage to this game is only one student can play at a time and the others end up watching. Depending on the size of your class smaller classes can handle watching and waiting to see if they can beat each others speed. For larger classes centers are in order, even for older kids.  While a small group takes turns playing this game on the SmartBoard another small group can be working on a word find or crossword that reviews the same vocabulary while a third small group can be playing hangman or other word based game to review as well.
