Explore 7 Using Context to Interpret Domain Specific Terms review games designed by a teacher to engage students and reinforce curriculum.
- TRASHKETBALL™ gets teams racing to answer correctly, then rewards them with shots at the trash can to score points.

Turning review into a game is one of my favorite ways to get students participating without making practice feel like more work. 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. Just like a team practices before a big game, students who know another review game is coming have a reason to prepare, because this time they really want to win.
There’s research behind the fun too, with studies finding better academic performance and greater student engagement when games are brought into learning. See the research.
