When it’s time to review, a little competition can go a long way toward getting students focused, participating, and having fun. Before long, students are cheering, discussing answers, and asking to play again—even when their team didn’t win. Once students know another game is coming, winning becomes a reason to pay attention, practice, and make sure they’re ready for the next one.

Don’t just take my word for it—research shows that game-based learning can improve student achievement, retention, and motivation. See the research.
