When it’s time to review, a little competition can go a long way toward getting students focused, participating, and having fun. You’ll see students lean into the questions, debate answers with their teammates, and hang on every result as the game unfolds. When games become a regular part of review, students quickly learn that knowing the material gives them an advantage, and they start showing up ready to compete.
Don’t just take my word for it—research shows that game-based learning can improve student achievement, retention, and motivation. See the research.
