When it’s time to review, a little competition can go a long way toward getting students focused, participating, and having fun. 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.

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