I love Wendy Toy's Book, Creative Reivew Games. This book is chock full of all kinds of games you can use to review with your students! It is a jewel because it can be adapted for any age level and any learning level. Students love these games! And they make reviewing for tests or just for fun -- well -- more fun!
You can use this book to review Bible Studies or History or just about anything you can think of. It is not limited to any subject!
My favorite games are the "Egg Carton" game and the "Sea Search" game. I am not going to share how they work because you need to get the book and find out! And for a mere $5.99 -- you can't find a better resource for reviewing with your students!
If you aren't sure how to write review questions, this book takes you step by step through the process. It also gives directions for 13 games and suggestions for other games. I found my imagination running wild with ideas after using this book!
Also included in the book are ideas for review, instructions for creating questions, and directions to play games. Reproducible templates and patterns are included in this e-book.
Anyone who works with children and teens -- even adults -- will want this book on their shelf. You will want this book if you work in Bible clubs, boys clubs, girls clubs, Sunday School, VBS, girl scouts, boy scouts -- any kind of situation where you are teaching students new skills. Homeschools, private schools, public schools, any school will benefit from using the ideas in this book. You can even use some of the games to help adults learn, too!
This books is just one of those classic resources that every teacher will want to have on their shelf. It is simple, easy to use, and very useful. Whether you're a beginner or a veteran educator -- you will love this resource. I love it for the time it saves me in thinking up new ways to review facts and skills we've learned, but also because it keeps my students engaged. And we all know that we learn better by doing!
Wendy Toy also includes great information about why review is important in her first chapters. Information includes "Reviewing with a Purpose," "Lesson Presentation," "When to Review," "Creating Review Questions," "Preparing Your Game," "Adapting a Game," and more!
Following these first informative chapters are the games and the countless ways you can use them.
If you are looking for a new way to help your students remember what they have learned, and you don't have a lot of money to spend for fancy software or pre-made games, then get this book! And even if you do have a lot of money -- get the book! You can only win with this one!
My students love the games and yours will, too!
