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. Over time, that excitement carries beyond the game itself, as students start preparing because they want their team to have a better chance of winning next time.

The excitement is great, but the research is even better—educational games have been linked to stronger achievement, retention, and motivation. See the research.
