When it’s time to review, a little competition can go a long way toward getting students focused, participating, and having fun. Before long, students are cheering, discussing answers, and asking to play again—even when their team didn’t win. When games become a regular part of review, students quickly learn that knowing the material gives them an advantage, and they start showing up ready to compete.
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.
