Let customers speak for us
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.

Explore 7 Types of Early Government review games designed by a teacher to engage students and reinforce curriculum. Turn Social Studies review into a game and give students a reason to get excited about showing what they know.
- GRUDGEBALL combines question review with a battle for survival as teams fire cannons, sink opposing ships, and fight to be the last one afloat.
- Turn review into a team competition with TRASHKETBALL™, where students answer questions, earn shots, and try to outscore the other teams.
- BUMP combines fast-paced question review with a competitive challenge where students land shots and knock other teams off the platform.
- SCOOT gets students out of their seats and moving around the classroom as they rotate from desk to desk answering task cards.
- In FRAZZLED, teams answer questions to uncover mystery points, but one wrong answer or unlucky bomb can completely change the game.
- 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.
- Turn review into an unpredictable whole-class competition with The BIG TERRIBLE Game, where every answer can send a team’s score in the right or wrong direction.
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. Play review games regularly and students start preparing for them, because just like sports, they know being ready gives them a better chance to win.
Games may feel like fun to students, but research shows they can be serious learning tools, with measurable benefits for achievement, retention, and engagement. See the research.
