Review Game Props

I was fooling around Amazon as I am known to do and somehow I came across their section of giant games. How much fun would it be to have a few for the classroom to play review games at the end of class, review days, or at the end of the year?!

Lights and buzzers for Jeopardy style review game.

How awesome would this be for a Jeopardy style review game?

I love the idea of this for questions that are worth certain amounts of points.

I like the idea of taking this product by the Superhero Teacher and blowing it up!

I am trying to figure out how I can use these large cards. Maybe writing review questions on them and you are not allowed to play them unless you answer the questions first?

Short Stories from a Middle School Teacher: Gold Stars

Gold Stars One of my favorite things to do my third year of teaching was team teach. The Civics and Economic teacher and I would put our classes together regularly so we could create cross curricular stations and activities for the kids. The arrangement worked out great because, even though there were more kids in the room, the kids were less willing to act up with two authority figures in the room. One day the Civics teacher’s side of the room was going downhill and fast, while my side of the room was behaving like angels. Finally, he called out, “Whoever is being good will get a gold star!” (Amazingly 8th graders coveted these stars like none other). The room got completely silent and without missing a beat one of the students on my side of the room said, “You mean like Hitler did to the Jewish people?” I suppressed my laughter and thought to myself, “Yes, finally they are retaining true things about WWII!” Then I thought to myself, “Too bad I don’t teach history.”
