I’ve always found that students are much more willing to review when they feel like they’re playing instead of studying. The competition gets students paying attention to every question, communicating with their team, and getting genuinely excited when the answer is revealed. 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.
