Explore 14 Non Mendelian Inheritance 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.

Review doesn’t have to mean another worksheet, especially when a game can get the whole class involved. 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.
