Explore 7 Evaluating Word Parts, Roots & Word Families review games designed by a teacher to engage students and reinforce curriculum.
- Turn review into a classroom battle with GRUDGEBALL, where correct answers earn attacks and successful baskets give teams extra shots at their opponents.
- Turn review into a team competition with TRASHKETBALL™, where students answer questions, earn shots, and try to outscore the other teams.
- BUMP gets teams racing to answer correctly, then gives them a chance to score points by knocking other teams off the platform.
- With SCOOT, students move around the room answering task cards, turning curriculum review into an active classroom game.
- FRAZZLED keeps students guessing as correct answers reveal surprise points, wrong answers can reward the other team, and bombs can wipe out a score.
- 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.
- 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.
Review works a lot better when students actually want to participate, and games give them a reason to jump in. You’ll see students lean into the questions, debate answers with their teammates, and hang on every result as the game unfolds. 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.
