Category sort is a rather simple game but can be used to sort words or phrases in Hebrew Language as well as in Chumash and Navi. Hebrew Language can be sorted by Zman; in chumash you can sort by Shevet; in Navi you can sort by Melech or by place. Hebrew words can be inputed by dragging and dropping text boxes.
A game I played in my Navi class was for the end of Shmuel Aleph. I put across the top cities/places where David and Shaul traveled during Shaul's chase to kill David. Then I have phrases that described what happened in those places. Giva was a very long list of things that happened there while places like Nov or Ein Gedi had short but important lists. The students came up one at a time to move one item into the correct city. Sometimes they took from the word bank at the bottom of the page and sometimes they moved a phrase from one list to another to correct someone's mistake. Once the entire class agreed it was correct we checked it. I then had the students put the chart in their notes to be used as review for the test. The kids loved it and it was a relatively fast review of where David and Shaul went which I used at the beginning of the class to review past material before moving on with the chase!
