Description: This is a fun, adaptable game/review for any subject and grade level. Students use their notes or book to create questions and answers, ranging in difficulty from 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 pts. The questions will relate to a specific topic with 5 categories. For example, the unit is Ancient Egypt and the categories are - Geography, Pyramids, Rulers, Vocabulary and King Tut. The students write five questions and answers on the Post-it Notes and use the folder to prepare the game like the television game show. This game is used as review for the chapter test and can be reused for future review. The students keep the Post-it Notes in a file box for an additional review on a final exam.
