The oral component of any game rapidly increases vocabulary. If\u00a0<em>Oedipus Rex<\/em>\u00a0by Sophocles slips off the tongue as easily as\u00a0<em>Romeo and Juliet<\/em>\u00a0by Shakespeare, students are improving their memory\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0their vocabulary.<\/li>\n<li>Be Ready! A homeschool mom can keep a couple of decks in her handbag. Around the pool, play a set, swim for ten minutes, play a set, and swim again. Play, swim, play, swim. When a flight is late at the airport, pull out a deck. When camping in a tent and it is raining, bring out the cards.<\/li>\n<li>Review: At present, teachers and parents might be shocked by the results of a test about history taught in September and given in June. Teachers can be discouraged because in the spring\u2014or so it seems\u2014nothing is left of what was taught in the fall. Outmatched can go a long way to change this. The content of decks introduced in September and played again a couple of times in December, February, and April will be retained. The month of June can be spent playing all of the decks of Outmatched. This is the ideal way to review! Remember, for lifetime retention, a fact or association requires fifty-five repetitions. The best method of getting those repetitions is through games. It is best to \u201cLearn Through Play.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Your School Calendar with Outmatched: Dr. Webster developed this game over the course of forty years in the classroom. When Dr. Webster used this game in his classroom, he\u2019d introduce new decks throughout the year as they studied more and more content. However, at the end of the school year in June, he did nothing but play review games with his students. Winners of the day would receive chocolate bars. Dr. Webster would make crowns for the \u201cking and queen of history\u201d for the top performers of the week. These sorts of activities increased the enjoyment of and motivation for the games, and as the class increased exposure to the material on the cards, retention also increased.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introducing Outmatched, Dr. James B.
