I’ve always found that students are much more willing to review when they feel like they’re playing instead of studying. 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.

Games may feel like fun to students, but research shows they can be serious learning tools, with measurable benefits for achievement, retention, and engagement. See the research.
