Once you have the active game link, put it in your Canvas course for students to access.
Below are a few simple, high-energy review games you can easily implement with materials you likely already have. These games were inspired by ideas shared by educators on TikTok and are designed to get students actively thinking, collaborating, and applying their learning in a fun, low-pressure way. Let me know if you need a deck of cards for King of the Court and I'll send some your way!
Goal: Be the first to finish your worksheet.
What You Need
One pencil per group
One die per group
One worksheet for every player
How to Play
Put students into groups of 4-5
Students take turns rolling the die until the first person rolls a 6.
That person will then grab the (only!) pencil and try to answer as many questions as they can until the next person rolls a 6.
Once the next person rolls a 6 they yell SEIS and take the pencil and answer until the next 6 is rolled.
Goal: Have the most points at the end of the game.
What You Need
One deck of cards
White boards, markers, and erasers
Prepared review questions
A scoreboard on the main board
How to Play
Put students into groups of 2–3.
Display a question and start the timer; teams write their answers on their boards.
When the timer is up, teams show their answers. If correct, they draw a card.
The card value is the points for that round, but watch out for Face Cards:
King: Multiply your total points by 2
Queen: Divide your total points by 2
Jack: Score goes back to 0
Ace: Swap your total points with another team
Goal: Have the most points at the end of the game.
What You Need
One worksheet per student
Different colored sticky notes
A whiteboard or anchor chart
Markers
How to Play
Break students into teams of 3–5.
Draw a box on the board for each team and fill it with an equal number of colored sticky notes.
Secretly assign a point value (positive or negative) to each color on a "master key."
Students work on their worksheets; every time they get a correct answer, they run up and move a sticky note.
Students can take a note from their own box to save points or from another team's box to sabotoge them.
Once the board is empty, reveal the secret color values and tally the points to see who wins!
Goal: Score the most points by hitting the target with wet cotton balls.
What You Need
Cotton balls
A cup of water
A target drawn on a whiteboard (NOT your TV) with dry erase marker and point values
Review questions on the TV/IFP
How to Play
Break students into teams to solve the review questions.
Randomly call on a team to show and explain their work.
If the answer is correct, one student from the group gets a cotton ball.
The student dips the cotton ball in water and throws it at the whiteboard target.
The cotton ball will stick to the board; add the points from that spot to the team's score.
Continue until all questions are answered and the board is covered in "darts!"
This is super easy clean up, it's only water and it dries!
