Let customers speak for us
the students had an absolute blast with it. Was really helpful in getting them to remember conditional statements.
This resource was exactly what I needed! The directions were clear, engaging, and easy for my students to follow. The visuals and activities kept them interested, and it aligned perfectly with the standards. I appreciated that it worked well for both whole-group and small-group instruction. Definitely a time-saver and worth it!
Well thought out resource and useful in my classroom. Thank you!
My students love a good competition, and they loved this game!
Great resource to use as a unit review! Students enjoyed playing.
Students had so much fun with this activity. It was challenging, but the fun aspect truly engaged the students.
My students really enjoyed this review game. We ended up splitting into four teams so that more students were involved on each question and then each team could pick who they wanted to assign their points to. We were able to use the slides for this and we had a lot of fun. My students have asked if this can be our next review game too!
We use this during small groups to help with identifying prime and composite numbers.
A great resource for my seventh grade math students!
Fun way to practice input and output with third graders!
Highly engaging way to reinforce basic robotic concepts
This game was so fun! My students loved using the as their review before their unit test! I also liked how I was able to add some other questions to help them prepare for their unit test.
Great resource. Students enjoyed it. Job well done!

Explore 7 River Systems 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 Science.
- In The BIG TERRIBLE Game, every team answers every question and earns unpredictable positive or negative points while trying to finish closest to zero.
- Turn review into a team competition with TRASHKETBALL™, where students answer questions, earn shots, and try to outscore the other teams.
- SCOOT gets students out of their seats and moving around the classroom as they rotate from desk to desk answering task cards.
- The TERRIBLE Game rewards correct answers with positive or negative points that students can strategically assign to their own team or their opponents.
- In GRUDGEBALL, teams answer questions to fire on their opponents’ ships, then make baskets to earn even more shots.
- BUMP combines fast-paced question review with a competitive challenge where students land shots and knock other teams off the platform.
- FRAZZLED keeps students guessing as correct answers reveal surprise points, wrong answers can reward the other team, and bombs can wipe out a score.
I’ve always found that students are much more willing to review when they feel like they’re playing instead of studying. Students get focused, talk through answers with their teammates, and suddenly everyone wants to be the one who gets the next question right. The real change happens when students start looking ahead to the next game and realize that the more prepared they are, the better their chances of winning.
Don’t just take my word for it—research shows that game-based learning can improve student achievement, retention, and motivation. See the research.
