Explore 7 Environmental Regulation review games designed by a teacher to engage students and reinforce curriculum. Give students a break from worksheets and bring Social Studies review to life with a classroom game.

• The BIG TERRIBLE Game keeps the whole class involved as up to eight teams answer together and watch their scores swing above and below zero.
• Turn review into a team competition with TRASHKETBALL™, where students answer questions, earn shots, and try to outscore the other teams.
• SCOOT combines review with movement as students rotate between desks and work their way through a set of topic-specific task cards.
• The TERRIBLE Game makes review wonderfully terrible as teams answer questions, uncover unpredictable scores, and use positive and negative points to get closest to zero.
• GRUDGEBALL combines question review with a battle for survival as teams fire cannons, sink opposing ships, and fight to be the last one afloat.
• Turn review into a team battle with BUMP, where correct answers earn shots and students can bump their opponents off the platform for extra points.
• FRAZZLED keeps students guessing as correct answers reveal surprise points, wrong answers can reward the other team, and bombs can wipe out a score.

Review works a lot better when students actually want to participate, and games give them a reason to jump in. Once the game starts, students start talking, thinking, and working together, with hands shooting up and everyone waiting to see what happens next. Play review games regularly and students start preparing for them, because just like sports, they know being ready gives them a better chance to win.

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