Looking for a fun way to review with your middle school students? This quiz show style review game has got you covered. Have fun reviewing Early Earth, Living Things, Cell Theory and Cells (Organelles and Transport). What’s included You’ll receive a powerpoint file that looks like the popular quiz show (you know the one). It can easily be uploaded into Google Drive if that is your preference (directions for this are included). Key Features 25 questions organized into five categories. The main screen is linked to each answer slide which is followed by the question slide. There is a house icon on the question slide to bring you back to main screen. The values on the main screen will change colors when clicked on so keep track of what questions have already been chosen. Ways to Use It Break your class up into teams and use a buzzer like the Eggspert or app such as Multibuzz.app or BuzzIn.live to have students buzz in from their devices. If you want more accountability, use Nearpod or PearDesk to have each student record their answers. Keep track of the money or don’t. I take away money when students get a question wrong but do what works for your classroom. The goal is for the students to have fun, not stress out.
