Explore 7 Quantitative Evidence in History 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 Social Studies.
- Turn review into a team competition with TRASHKETBALL™, where students answer questions, earn shots, and try to outscore the other teams.
- 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.
- FRAZZLED keeps students guessing as correct answers reveal surprise points, wrong answers can reward the other team, and bombs can wipe out a score.
- BUMP gets teams racing to answer correctly, then gives them a chance to score points by knocking other teams off the platform.
- GRUDGEBALL turns review into a battle where correct answers earn cannon shots to sink opposing teams before they sink you.
- In The TERRIBLE Game, teams answer questions to reveal mystery scores, then decide who gets the points as everyone battles to finish closest to zero.
- Get students moving with SCOOT, where they travel from desk to desk answering task cards and recording their answers along the way.
I’ve always found that students are much more willing to review when they feel like they’re playing instead of studying. You’ll see students lean into the questions, debate answers with their teammates, and hang on every result as the game unfolds. Once students know another game is coming, winning becomes a reason to pay attention, practice, and make sure they’re ready for the next one.
Don’t just take my word for it—research shows that game-based learning can improve student achievement, retention, and motivation. See the research.
