Decide on a set of questions that you want to ask students. The questions should pertain to concepts, skills or ideas that have been taught during class instruction.
Write the questions on index cards. Separate the index cards into categorical piles. For example, if you're reviewing different subject areas at one time, separate the cards into piles based on the subject areas that they pertain to: English with English, history with history and so forth. If you're focusing on one subject area, divide the question into piles that relate to specific skills, concepts or ideas. For example, in the area of English, you may separate the cards into such categories as vocabulary words, authors and types of poetry.
Place the cards on a flat surface. Label a sticky note with the name of each category and place the sticky notes in front of the piles they relate to.
Write the topics on the board that relate to the questions on the index cards. For example, if the questions pertain to different subject areas, write the names of the subjects on the board.
Divide the class into two teams. Instruct each team to form a single-file line. Have the first two players decide on the side of a coin they want to call. Flip a coin and the team that called the side of the coin that lands upward goes first. The player who goes first selects a category. Read a question off of an index card that pertains to the chosen category. Give the first two players on each team an allotted period of time to answer the question, and the player who first supplies the correct answer earns a point for her team. The first two players step to the back of their teams' lines, and the next two players on each of the lines have to answer the next question. The person on the team who answered the previous question correctly gets to select the next category.
Continue playing in this manner until all of the questions are asked. The team that collects the most points wins the game.
