- The BIG TERRIBLE Game gets up to eight teams answering every question while unpredictable positive and negative points keep everyone guessing until the end.
- Turn review into a team competition with TRASHKETBALL™, where students answer questions, earn shots, and try to outscore the other teams.
I’ve always found that students are much more willing to review when they feel like they’re playing instead of studying. Before long, students are cheering, discussing answers, and asking to play again—even when their team didn’t win. 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.
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.
