Students need everyday reviews to help them retain information. I also like to to do formal reviews as lessons before the big tests in our district. I think we all always need fresh ideas for review practices.
1. Sink or Swim- this game can be used best with vocabulary. Students are on two teams and students who get the question correct can sink an opposing team member or save one of their team members who was sunk. The kids love this game because of the social interaction.
2. Power points (which can be used year after year) are usual because they can be sent home and used over and over for practice.
3. White boards and expo markers for each child keeps them all on task and gives immediate feedback to the teacher.
4. Daily Exit tickets- Students are given a review question each day and have to provide the answer on a ticket to turn in as they exit the class.
5. Swat it- Use fly swatters to select the correct answer for a question
If anyone else has any review ideas, I need some new ones too!

LOVE IT! I teach 8th grade math and I am always trying to find ways to incorporate and get the kids to learn the vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I used "swat it" last year and I really liked it. Gotta do it again this year.
ReplyDeleteJeopardy is another good review. You can find templates by going to google advanced search and selecting powerpoint as the file type.
