I'm always trying to find fun ways for students to study for tests. Instead of having them read and review materials...why not make this part fun! Buy a pack of blank cue-cards and cut them in half. Each cue card should have enough room to write a 8-10 word question on one side. Bring out the topic that you need to study for. For the first few cards, write a vocabulary word on one side ( choose those that are highlighted or bolded or is a word that you do not know the meaning of) and the other side of the cue card should be the definition. Create at least 10 questions (use what, why, how, when, where) and write each question on a card and the other side the answer. If you know the test will be a multiple choice then write multiple choice questions on the cue cards. Find out the format of the test! Take your cards and build an obstacle course around a room or your whole house if you wish. If you have a timer,try to beat your time after each obstacle course run. This is a fun way to study. Great for math tests!! or just reviewing materials. Every kid loves to play...why not just incorporate playing with studying???!!!!
