WHY BUY THIS?

Aren’t we all a little more engaged when material is presented to us in a fun way? Turning a simple worksheet or practice test into a review game captures students’ attention and increases their motivation to participate. If your classroom is anything like mine, you know that behavior problems are minimal when student engagement is high. 

With this customizable game board, you can turn any worksheet, practice test, or topic into an irresistible game that students are begging you to play.

I know it can be nearly impossible to find pre made review games that perfectly align with your curriculum.  

Let’s say you're a 4th-grade teacher using the Bridges math curriculum and want to review for the unit 3 math test at the end of the week. 

The odds of finding a review game for this specific test on TeachShare are pretty slim, so save the time spent searching for something and create a game yourself

This editable template allows you to create a jeopardy-style review game to match exactly what you want students to learn and practice. Just divide the material into the main categories and input the questions and answers into the game board. BOOM, it’s ready to play!
