Description
You will absolutely love running this review lesson with your students, it is so motivating for them! And it is a special moment when the whole class is engaged and fully focused on their learning.
Benefits of Lab Equipment SPLAT Review Game:
- Students LOVE playing it – they get really excited!
- It improves memory and recall of key information
- Students are active in their learning
- Low-to-no prep: simply present the slides & print/assign the worksheets
- Did I mention… it’s so much fun!
Here’s how my SPLAT review game works:
- The class is split into two teams.
- One player from each team comes up to the board at a time.
- Players stand with their backs to the board.
- The teacher reads a statement.
- Players turn around and race to splat the correct answer, by saying, “SPLAT!” and touching the answer.
- A scorekeeper tallies the points.
After the game is over, assign the student worksheet to let students test their understanding individually.
