Buzzers

This Christmas I'm buying myself a present of several sets of these recordable answer buzzers. Buzzers are a great way of creating more excitement in a class room quiz but these are more versatile than others sets I've seen. Due to the fact that these are recordable I can create different sounds for each buzzer meaning I can use more than one set at a time and therefore have more teams. I can also create plenary sorting games with them by recording the name of each category on each buzzer. For example if I was revising plate tectonics I would give each team a buzzer pre-recorded with one of the plate boundaries (conservative, constructive, destructive or collision) and then read out a list of plate boundary characteristics. If the team think the characteristic describes their plate boundary they press their buzzer.There are lots of possibilities to use these in your lessons.
