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

When it’s time to review, a little competition can go a long way toward getting students focused, participating, and having fun. Once the game starts, students start talking, thinking, and working together, with hands shooting up and everyone waiting to see what happens next. 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.

Don’t just take my word for it—research shows that game-based learning can improve student achievement, retention, and motivation. See the research.
