Review doesn’t have to mean another worksheet, especially when a game can get the whole class involved. 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.
The excitement is great, but the research is even better—educational games have been linked to stronger achievement, retention, and motivation. See the research.
