Explore 5 Community Decisions review games designed by a teacher to engage students and reinforce curriculum. When students are having fun, they forget they are reviewing, making games a great way to practice Social Studies.
- BUMP combines fast-paced question review with a competitive challenge where students land shots and knock other teams off the platform.
- Keep students on their toes with FRAZZLED, where every answer can reveal points, help the opposing team, or uncover a bomb that resets the score to zero.
- In The BIG TERRIBLE Game, every team answers every question and earns unpredictable positive or negative points while trying to finish closest to zero.
- TRASHKETBALL™ gets teams racing to answer correctly, then rewards them with shots at the trash can to score points.
- SCOOT combines review with movement as students rotate between desks and work their way through a set of topic-specific task cards.
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. The real change happens when students start looking ahead to the next game and realize that the more prepared they are, the better their chances of winning.
And it isn’t just something I’ve seen in my own classroom—research has found significant learning benefits from using educational games with students. See the research.
