Fun Review Games to Play with Your Class
You know, I been thinkin’ ’bout some ways to make review time more fun for the young’uns, and let me tell ya, there’s a heap of ways to do it! Ain’t no need to just sit there with them books all day long, cause there are games that can help ‘em learn without feelin’ like they workin’. Here, I’m gonna share some games that’ll make them kiddos giggle while they review and remember things better!
Around the World Game
Now, you might know this one. It’s called Around the World, and it’s a game that’s been around forever. All ya do is have the kids stand up, and then you ask ‘em questions. They take turns answerin’ until they get it right. Once they do, they move on to the next person and so on. It’s simple, but let me tell ya, they sure get excited tryin’ to outsmart each other. Plus, it’s a good way to get them to remember what you taught ‘em—quick-like! This one can work with any subject—whether you’re doin’ math, history, or even some spelling tests!
Friendly Feud

If you got a big group of kids, another good one is Friendly Feud. You know, kinda like that game show you might’ve seen on TV. You split the class into two teams and then ask ‘em questions, but the twist is they got to think like a whole team to get the best answer. I always tell ‘em, “Don’t be too hasty with your answers, now!” This game gets ‘em thinkin’ hard and workin’ together, which is mighty important in a classroom setting. And, if they win? Oh, they feel proud as a rooster in the henhouse. Works wonders for things like science, language arts, or even social studies!
Word Cloud Game
Now, I’ve been hearin’ a lot about this one—Word Cloud Game. Ain’t it somethin’? It’s a way to get kids talkin’ about what they know. All ya do is show a word or phrase, and then ask ‘em to think of other words that go along with it. The words all get put into a “cloud,” and then they get to see how many words they can come up with as a class. This game helps ’em with their vocabulary and lets ‘em see how much they really know about a topic. Works best with groups, and I always tell ‘em, “Let’s see who can come up with the most words!” It keeps ‘em engaged, I tell ya that much.
Jeopardy Review Game
Another one I like is called Jeopardy. Oh, now this one’s fun, and it ain’t too hard to set up neither. You can make a big ol’ board on the chalkboard or use index cards, just so long as the kids can see it. You ask ‘em questions in categories, just like on TV, and they get points for the right answers. You can use this for almost any subject, from math problems to history questions. I tell ya, they get so excited when they’re tryin’ to score points for their team! It really helps review what they learned, and the competition keeps ’em on their toes!
Quiz Bingo
And here’s one more that’s mighty fun, and that’s Quiz Bingo. Now, this one’s just like regular bingo, but instead of numbers, you got questions. You ask the kids questions, and if they answer ‘em right, they can mark off a spot on their bingo card. The first one to get a bingo wins. This game works great for any subject you’re teachin’—from math problems to history facts. It’s real easy to set up, and the kids love it because they feel like they’re playin’ a game, not studyin’! You can even do prizes for the winners—just don’t be givin’ out too many candy bars, or you’ll have a sugar high on your hands!
Group Challenges

Last but not least, don’t forget the Group Challenges. These can be anything from trivia questions to group problems that need to be solved. I like to mix things up, ya know? Maybe I’ll ask ‘em to solve a puzzle together or work on a big question as a team. It keeps things interesting and gets them workin’ together to solve problems. Plus, they feel real good when they finish somethin’ as a group. You can do this with a small group or the whole class. No matter the size, it’s a good way to get everyone involved and review the material!
Wrap Up
So, there you have it, folks. Some fun games you can use to help review material in the classroom. They don’t take a lot of time to set up, and the kids won’t even know they’re learnin’—they’ll just be havin’ fun. I reckon that’s the best way to teach ‘em, don’t ya think? All these games are simple to play, don’t cost a lot of money, and they’ll help keep the young’uns engaged. Now, go on, try ‘em out and see what works for ya!
