Setup: Create your master list of 26+ questions. Post them on sheets of paper.
Agenda:
1. Post the questions around the outside walls of the room like a gallery walk.
2. Pair students up or allow them to choose partners.
3. Provide a handout for them to record answers on, or have them set up a piece of notebook paper with lines to record the answer.
4. Explain that this is a review activity and is also a competition to see who finishes the review quickest.
5. Movement: depending on the ability/interest/behavior of your class you can have them rotate in order OR go around randomly. The random movement facilitates better competition but can also lead to chaos in some groups!
Make it easier: First, put a starting letter at the start of every question so students know what letter the answer starts with. Another way to help is to post in small letters the answers to all the questions on random question cards. That way as they circulate the room they either have their schema triggered by seeing answers to future questions OR by getting a reminder for one of the answers
that was just on the tip of their tongue...
Credit: I have no idea where it came from. I first saw this review activity used at a
faculty meeting at EMS.
