Idea from Ashley Nicole
GrudgeBall Review Game
1. Have students divide up into teams. 2. Each team starts out with 10 Xs on the whiteboard. 3. When a team answers a review question correctly they may erase a X from another team. Students can also shoot a ball into a bucket to erase 1 additional X. 4.If a team gets the question wrong the next team may try to answer it correctly and if they do then they will erase a X from the team they stole from. 5.If a team gets all their Xs erased they can still play. When they answer correctly they can then put a X back on the board.
Students really enjoy playing this game and creating alliances to erase other team's Xs. Teacher bonus, there is hardly any prep involved with this game!
