Explore 7 Mechanics & Motion review games designed by a teacher to engage students and reinforce curriculum. Turn Science review into a game and give students a reason to get excited about showing what they know.

• In TRASHKETBALL™, students compete to answer questions quickly and correctly to earn chances to shoot and score for their team.
• BUMP gets teams racing to answer correctly, then gives them a chance to score points by knocking other teams off the platform.
• SCOOT gets students out of their seats and moving around the classroom as they rotate from desk to desk answering task cards.
• FRAZZLED turns review into an unpredictable competition where teams win points, lose points, steal points, and try to avoid the dreaded bomb.
• The TERRIBLE Game adds strategy to review as correct answers uncover positive or negative points that can help your team or hurt your opponents.
• The BIG TERRIBLE Game gets up to eight teams answering every question while unpredictable positive and negative points keep everyone guessing until the end.
• In GRUDGEBALL, teams answer questions to fire on their opponents’ ships, then make baskets to earn even more shots.

Review works a lot better when students actually want to participate, and games give them a reason to jump in. You’ll see students lean into the questions, debate answers with their teammates, and hang on every result as the game unfolds. 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.
