What term refers to a single task, exercise or game for students to work on?

• A. Activity
• B. Task
• C. Exercise
• D. Practice

Answer: (A)

A single, self-contained unit that gets students involved in doing something is best described as an activity. An activity covers any discrete moment of learning where students engage—like solving a quick puzzle, answering a prompt, or playing a short game—within a lesson and has a clear start and finish. A task, while related, focuses more on the work itself to be completed and can be part of a larger activity. An exercise usually refers to a set of problems used for practice, and practice emphasizes repeated effort to build skill over time rather than a single standalone item. So for a standalone item that students work on, activity is the most fitting label.
