A Different kind of Review Game!

My students loved this review game!  It involves movement, a little silliness, and challenge.

HOW IT WORKS:

Students are broken into small teams - no more than six or seven students per team.  Each team is given a set of 3x5 cards with letters on them.  The number of letters are the same as the letters in a Scramble game set, so you will need more letters such as E or O, and less of letters such as X or Z.

Then I read definitions or key concepts to the class from the Unit we studied.  Then the students work in their teams to spell out the words using the cards.  But when they do this, students need to hold the cards up, not just spell them out on the table top.  This is where is get's silly....Because students have to scramble around to spell the words correctly.  Sometimes, I require each student in the team to hold at least one card.

My students loved playing this because it's a challenge to beat the other team AND it requires students to work together defining the words, then finding the letters for the words, and then spelling the words correctly.

Try it in your class.   My kids loved it!
