Fun Test Review

Tired of boring review for standardized tests? Try these fun alternatives!

Play "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" with those multiple choice questions. Divide the class into teams. Present the question and answer choices on the elmo/overhead to the first person on a team. If he/she does not know the answer, they may use one of the 'lifeline': phone a friend, poll the audience, and 50/50. Each team may use a lifeline only once. If the answer is correct, the team wins a point, or to make it more interesting, money. If the answer is wrong, the team loses points/money. The team with the most points/money at the end of the review wins!

Another game idea: write the letters A,B,C, and D on 4 objects, such as ping pong balls. Put them in a bag. Present the questions and answer choices on the Elmo/Overhead. The first student pulls out a ball and decides if that letter is the correct answer choice. If it is not he/she must explain why. Continue until the correct answer has been chosen.

Just two fun and engaging ways to review!
