Explore 7 Stars Formation & Life Cycle 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.

• 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.
• The TERRIBLE Game adds strategy to review as correct answers uncover positive or negative points that can help your team or hurt your opponents.
• FRAZZLED turns review into an unpredictable competition where teams win points, lose points, steal points, and try to avoid the dreaded bomb.
• SCOOT gets students out of their seats and moving around the classroom as they rotate from desk to desk answering task cards.
• BUMP gets teams racing to answer correctly, then gives them a chance to score points by knocking other teams off the platform.
• In TRASHKETBALL™, students compete to answer questions quickly and correctly to earn chances to shoot and score for their team.
• Turn review into a classroom battle with GRUDGEBALL, where correct answers earn attacks and successful baskets give teams extra shots at their opponents.

A good review game can completely change the energy in the classroom and get students excited to practice what they’ve learned. Students who normally sit back during review often jump into the action, working with their teammates and getting caught up in every question and result. Over time, that excitement carries beyond the game itself, as students start preparing because they want their team to have a better chance of winning next time.

The excitement is great, but the research is even better—educational games have been linked to stronger achievement, retention, and motivation. See the research.
