Explore 14 Gene Environment Interactions review games designed by a teacher to engage students and reinforce curriculum. Give students a break from worksheets and bring Science review to life with a classroom game.

• BUMP gets teams racing to answer correctly, then gives them a chance to score points by knocking other teams off the platform.
• Get students moving with SCOOT, where they travel from desk to desk answering task cards and recording their answers along the way.
• 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.
• The TERRIBLE Game adds strategy to review as correct answers uncover positive or negative points that can help your team or hurt your opponents.
• In The BIG TERRIBLE Game, every team answers every question and earns unpredictable positive or negative points while trying to finish closest to zero.
• In GRUDGEBALL, teams answer questions to fire on their opponents’ ships, then make baskets to earn even more shots.
• In TRASHKETBALL™, students compete to answer questions quickly and correctly to earn chances to shoot and score for their team.

A good review game can completely change the energy in the classroom and get students excited to practice what they’ve learned. You’ll see students lean into the questions, debate answers with their teammates, and hang on every result as the game unfolds. Just like a team practices before a big game, students who know another review game is coming have a reason to prepare, because this time they really want to win.

Games may feel like fun to students, but research shows they can be serious learning tools, with measurable benefits for achievement, retention, and engagement. See the research.
