Review Games - January Post

          End of the Semester Review is very important because students typically don't remember what we studied in August/September.  For review games this year, I have created a few new things simply because the new Smart Board in my room does not allow you to throw things at it, like the old boards did; this issue has rendered my Bulls Eye game and Basketball game worthless because you can't score when the board doesn't pick up the ball.
          Quizizz.com - review game that allows multiple choice questions - students may go at their own pace, but can be timed (mine have 30 seconds to answer their questions), but it allows them to answer questions and then see what they got wrong.

          Flippity - Jeopardy and it does the MATH for you!!! Allows you to set up your boards, you must publish it to the web and then attach the link on the second tab.   You then can play with your students and it allows you to keep track of points just by clicking the "x" and check mark.  

           Baseball - took the terms for the final exam and broke them into singles, doubles, and triples.  Students are then asked a question at random (drawn from a bag)  
     

         
Otherwise I have kept my standard reviews of History (Bingo), Square Game, and Bazinga, but those have been talked about at some point or another so I am not going to beat a dead horse.  Review games should be interactive and keep students engaged, but also review the content.
