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. 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.
