Invent a Review Game

Invent a new review game for the end of a chapter. How would it be structured? Would there be a clearly-defined winner? Make sure this game incorporates everyone in the class, where everyone is actively reviewing the material on some level.

  1. I think that a fun activity combined with chapter one math questions would be a good example of a review game. Somebody could make up a few problems related to chapter one from the book. Next, you could choose someone to say the problems to the rest of the students. The students would be in two teams in lines. The problem reciter could say the problem and whoever gets it correct the fastest would get a point for their team.You could set up a bucket at the end of the room and whoever won the problem solving part would shoot a ball into the bucket. If they get the ball into the bucket, they would get an extra point, and if not, the team's points would stay the same.

  2. How about a survival game.
    You give us a question and we write the answer in separate piece of paper.
    You can check the answer however you want.The people who got it right goes on, but the people who got it wrong can't. You keep on going. When there is one person who is left versus You on the question somebody makes. If everybody is out the game is over. It might be hard, but it will be a fun game

  3. This is Lucas Hong and this is my idea for the review game. My idea for the review game is that we we have our name on a pop sickle stick and you pick us randomly. Person who gets chosen gets to go out to the board and solve a question which you would give us. The first person who gets the answer gets a point. At the end of the game when everybody takes turn the person whom has the most point wins the game.

  4. another thing is that later if there is more than half of the class is out we can let the people who is out play another game and 2people can come in again

  5. I betting game will be good. You have 2 pieces of candy to start with. Mr.Jobe will give the question but the players cannot fix their answer back. If the one player wins you get 1 candies. If its tie you go again. there are maximum 2 player and out of that 2 players 1 will go.And the pattern repeats until there is a winner.

  6. I would like to play a game where there is a slide of all the questions and for each slide, two people from each team come out to solve a problem. If one of them solve a problem, they have to tell the teacher and the teacher has to see if they got the right answer and the way they did it. If they showed all of their work, they get two points. If they have half the work shown or showed work but didn't get the answer, they get half a point. If they didn't show any work and got the answer wrong, they don't get a point. I think it is going to be a fun game while working on speed and accuracy.

  7. What about a treasure hunt?
    There could be two teams (or more) and we could each get a math problem. The first team with the correct answer gets another math problem and they have to solve that too. When one of the team's finished 5 (the number of math problems can change if necessary) problems, they get a clue to where the 'treasure' is. The team who finds the 'treasure' first wins.

  8. I think that a 4 team game will be a good challenge or activity because first of all, all the players will get to get in and play. There will be in a team, there will be 5 players. Me.Jobe will make up the whole chapter's questions and ask alot. Then in each team, there will be 1 person that is covered by a blindfold and when the question comes up, the team would have to help the person blindfolded what the question is as fast as possible and the blindfolded person will have to find out what the answer is by mentally solving it. The person with the most questions win and the whole team gets a candy from Mr.Jobe

  9. For the review game, I think we should pick one person who would like to be chosen gets up, and the does this. You give us simple math questions from our chapter. The person who was chosen goes around people and answer the questions that you give us. If the person who was chosen says the answer first, wins and moves on to a another person. The random person who versed the chosen person, changes positions with the chosen. So then the person who won, goes around again. And then at the end, if the same person is still standing, wins.

  10. I think for a fun review game we should have some kind of survival game what Hauk said. I have a different idea. First you divide the class into 3 or more groups.Then in the group you choose one person and that person will be the one to make 10 questions. Then he will show it to his teammates.The chosen one must answer the question correctly, if he doesn't he will need to miss out 1 round of the game. 1 round means until the chosen one gave out all 10 questions. The winner is the one who has the most correct answers. If there is a tie between 2 or more people, the chosen one must make 5 more. If the 2 or more people ties for more than 3 times Mr. Jobe should give out a very hard question. If nobody gets the answer they must do rock paper scissors and the winner will win the game.

  11. I think a game made out of cards would be fun to play with. There would be 4 teams, and we can all be playing. When Mr.Jobe shows the card, that has a question from chapter 1. The person who raises their hand fastest, which means who has the answer, gets a chocolate bar from Mr.Jobe. ^^good game!~>ㅂ<

  12. I think a two team game would be great. Mr.Jobe can give us questions and the team who answers the question would gain five points, however the team who gets it wrong would lose five points. The team that reaches 500 points first would be the winner.

  13. I think that you could give us questions, reviewing the chapter and if the person gets it correct, you move on, but if the person gets it wrong, he/she would have to solve problems till he/she gets it right. ^^ good game!~>ㅂ<

    A good review game would be a game where there are a bunch of cards, or pieces of paper inside a basket, with problems on them. When it is a person's turn, the person will pick a card, and all cards would have a bad or good affect on someone's points, which they earn by solving problems. Some good affects will be like 3 more points, or one more card. Bad affects would be like 3 points off, or skip one turn. When somebody reaches a certain amount of points, he or she will be the winner and the game will end.

  15. I would like to play a game where everybody in the class receives a data bit to answer a series of questions form the unit and the first one to answer the question gets points depending on how fast they got the answer in. The first one to 100 points wins

  16. A game that I thought of is a card game. How you play it is that Mr.Jobe would have stacks of cards with problem and there will be mini white boards too. There can be about 4 teams for our class and one player from the team comes out and sits looking at the other way from where there team is with a mini white board. When Mr.Jobe reads the question you have to listen closely and answer them, and you can only answer the question by your self. If you really don't get it you have 3 chances per team each game to ask your teammates one thing. If you couldn't hear what the problem was Mr.Jobe can repeat it only 2 times which in total he said it 3 times, so you would have to listen carefully. The goal of this game is to improve our listening skills, team work and your knowledge on math. The winning team would be the one who answered the question most and got them right, and they will receive a prize depending on Mr.Jobe.

  17. My idea is that we should play an answering game. We can divide in to groups and solve equations that are given on the board.The group that solves the most questions correctly is the winner.

  18. My idea is like a scavenger hunt. There are groups of 3 and they all start from the beginning of the scavenger hunt. Every question that they get right, makes them closer to getting a prize. The questions are going to be on chapter 1.

  19. umm I think it is kind of childish but umm we do like a tag with one tagger and each person have a card that have math problem and if the person who
    had been tagged have to have a answer to that problem in 30 seconds and if the person who got tagged don't solve the problem in 30 seconds the person who got tagged get out of the game and if the person who got tagged solve the problem the the tagger have to run away from the person who tagger tag in 5 seconds and
    the person who got tagged be the new tagger
