Bop-It
The hasboro game, "Bop-It" or the various versions of it, it a fantastic review tool. I set it to the "pass it" mode and the students begin playing and pass it around the room. The trick it that when they mess up they have to do a review problem. I stretch this out for about 50 minutes and get through between 10 - 20 reveiw problems, depending on the SOLs. The students love it because they get a break between problems, it is up to them when they do them and they have the movement involved. I do have some that are hesitant to play because of the pressure there is but after the first time they go it subsides. It also acts as a great classroom management tool because the class has to stay fairly quite in order to hear the commands.

The hasboro game "Bop-It" or any of its variations is an excellent tool for reviewing. The pupils start playing and passing it around the room once I put it to the "pass it" setting. The trick is that students have to solve a review problem when they make a mistake. Depending on the SOLs, I extend this out to approximately 50 minutes and do 10 to 20 review problems. The pupils enjoy it because they get a break in between problems, decide when to complete them, and get to roam around. I do have some players who are reluctant to participate because of the pressure, but after they play once, their hesitation goes away.

ReplyDeleteBop-It is an electronic handheld game that challenges players to respond quickly to audio instructions. The game features several different commands, such as "bop it," "twist it," and "pull it," and players must respond accurately and quickly to each one. Bop-It is often used as a party game or a toy for children, and has inspired several spin-off products and sequels.
