• SCOOT gets students out of their seats and moving around the classroom as they rotate from desk to desk answering task cards.

A good review game can completely change the energy in the classroom and get students excited to practice what they’ve learned. Students get focused, talk through answers with their teammates, and suddenly everyone wants to be the one who gets the next question right. 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.

There’s research behind the fun too, with studies finding better academic performance and greater student engagement when games are brought into learning. See the research.
