Making inferences games that are interactive are a fun way to include all students in learning about inferring and making predictions! Additional resources, such as making inferences worksheets, anchor charts, and pictures will also help your students with logic and coming to conclusions about the reading passages they are deciphering.
So, while I realize (wholeheartedly) that teaching inferring is not always fun, I have found a fun online game that might at least make it more bearable. Inferring is so tough for many students because they may not have the background knowledge to make sense of the missing elements or to assume something from hidden facts.
What is a fun classroom group game for inferring?
In order to get students interested in working on some inferring skills, here is an online game from Quia that is perfect for the SmartBoard or as a center activity! Take a look at the video below for my Classroom Technology in 3-Minutes or Less segment.

Hi there, my name is Elena and I am part of the group “LOVELYTEACHERS”. We are a group of Spanish girls that are studying a primary education degree at the University of Murcia. Every week ,we have to choose a blog that inspire us in order to do the task better, and, this weeek, we have decided to choose your blog because we think that it’s a blog with a lot of variation. In this blog, you are talking about different topics that are really interesting in education. Also, you show different resources and methods that are very interesting for students, like for example “other ideas to teach in classsroom”.
So, CONGRATULATIONS!
Lots of love
Lovely teachers:)
