Turning review into a game is one of my favorite ways to get students participating without making practice feel like more work. The competition gets students paying attention to every question, communicating with their team, and getting genuinely excited when the answer is revealed. The real change happens when students start looking ahead to the next game and realize that the more prepared they are, the better their chances of winning.
