There is a time and a place where reviewing material can be very effective in aiding a student's academic success. I have discovered a variety of methods for a class to successfully review previously taught material.
Football review seems to be the students' favorite.
The purpose of this activity is to get all students involved in a review process in which they can have fun and reinforce material at the same time. Be involved in the review process. Have fun while learning. Specific objectives would depend on the material that is being reviewed. Draw a simple football field - add school name, etc.
