Explore 5 Examples of Historical Sources 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.
- TRASHKETBALL™ mixes fast-paced question review with a classroom shooting competition where correct answers earn shots for points.
- In BUMP, correct answers earn students shots at the platform, where they can score even more points by bumping off opposing teams.
- SCOOT gets students out of their seats and moving around the classroom as they rotate from desk to desk answering task cards.
- FRAZZLED keeps students guessing as correct answers reveal surprise points, wrong answers can reward the other team, and bombs can wipe out a score.
- In The BIG TERRIBLE Game, every team answers every question and earns unpredictable positive or negative points while trying to finish closest to zero.
Review doesn’t have to mean another worksheet, especially when a game can get the whole class involved. The competition gets students paying attention to every question, communicating with their team, and getting genuinely excited when the answer is revealed. 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.
