Check out these quick lesson ideas for teachers on how to use a BookWidgets Random Images activity in the classroom.
Random Images can add variety and surprise to classroom activities. Upload a set of pictures representing different options or tasks, and let the tool select one at random for the students. This makes it easy to decide which activity to do during free time or transitions, keeping students engaged with an element of chance.
Students follow visual building plans shown in the Random Images widget, placing blocks according to specific instructions. This activity promotes spatial awareness, fine motor skills, and problem-solving abilities. It’s an engaging way to develop important skills through hands-on learning.
Spark creativity by showing students a mix of unexpected images such as objects, locations, or characters that they use as inspiration for writing a short story. This fun activity encourages imagination, storytelling skills, and flexible thinking.
A fun and flexible way to boost classroom energy and language skills. Every time the widget is opened, it shows two random images related to food. Perfect for quick speaking prompts, comparisons or creative thinking. Great as a warm-up, energizer or transition between activities.
Encourage collaboration and communication with this interactive team-building activity. Students take turns drawing a random image by tracing it on a classmate’s back using their finger. The partner then tries to guess the image based on the tactile clues. Once guessed correctly, students switch roles.
Help students build a solid understanding of fractions by exploring common examples such as one third, two thirds, and five sixths using visual models like pizza slices. This activity guides students in recognizing and describing fractions based on visual representations, strengthening foundational math skills and boosting their confidence in working with fractions.
