Let customers speak for us
This resource was exactly what I needed! The directions were clear, engaging, and easy for my students to follow. The visuals and activities kept them interested, and it aligned perfectly with the standards. I appreciated that it worked well for both whole-group and small-group instruction. Definitely a time-saver and worth it!
Well thought out resource and useful in my classroom. Thank you!
My students love a good competition, and they loved this game!
Great resource to use as a unit review! Students enjoyed playing.
Students had so much fun with this activity. It was challenging, but the fun aspect truly engaged the students.
My students really enjoyed this review game. We ended up splitting into four teams so that more students were involved on each question and then each team could pick who they wanted to assign their points to. We were able to use the slides for this and we had a lot of fun. My students have asked if this can be our next review game too!
We use this during small groups to help with identifying prime and composite numbers.
A great resource for my seventh grade math students!
Fun way to practice input and output with third graders!
Highly engaging way to reinforce basic robotic concepts
This game was so fun! My students loved using the as their review before their unit test! I also liked how I was able to add some other questions to help them prepare for their unit test.

Explore 7 Galactic Center review games designed by a teacher to engage students and reinforce curriculum. When students are having fun, they forget they are reviewing, making games a great way to practice Science.
- With SCOOT, students move around the room answering task cards, turning curriculum review into an active classroom game.
- TRASHKETBALL™ mixes fast-paced question review with a classroom shooting competition where correct answers earn shots for points.
- 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.
- Keep students on their toes with FRAZZLED, where every answer can reveal points, help the opposing team, or uncover a bomb that resets the score to zero.
- BUMP gets teams racing to answer correctly, then gives them a chance to score points by knocking other teams off the platform.
- Turn review into a classroom battle with GRUDGEBALL, where correct answers earn attacks and successful baskets give teams extra shots at their opponents.
- The TERRIBLE Game rewards correct answers with positive or negative points that students can strategically assign to their own team or their opponents.
When it’s time to review, a little competition can go a long way toward getting students focused, participating, and having fun. Students get focused, talk through answers with their teammates, and suddenly everyone wants to be the one who gets the next question right. 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.
There’s research behind the fun too, with studies finding better academic performance and greater student engagement when games are brought into learning. See the research.
