So, building on an idea I saw somewhere else, I stopped at the dollar store and bought a small ball, about 8" in diameter. I took a sharpie and drew squares on it, I was able to make about 20 squares. In each square I wrote a review question. The students were divided into two teams. They tossed the ball between each team. Taking turns, each student caught the ball and tried to answer the question under their right thumb. Round two, they were allowed to get help from their team. Round three, they were allowed to steal the answer from the other team if the team with the ball did not know the answer. Round four, you have to find a question on the ball that has not been answered. I played this with my Sunday school CCD children and they loved it. I will create balls for my Developmental Psychology classes and probably a few more. BTW, everyone gets a small prize for playing. The point is just to review and make sure everyone has heard the important facts for the course.
