GROUP vs GROUP Competition
For unit and mid-term/final exam reviews, I like to use this multiple choice, timed PowerPoint game to simulate the standardized tests they will later take. The Timer on each slide keeps students on task and makes the competition more engaging. The Timers display times (15, 20, 30 or 45 seconds) that spiral down until they disappear revealing a Time's Up message. The correct answer is revealed by the teacher with a mouse click after scanning the room & scoring each group.
Run the Game
- Use a projector to present the PowerPoint to the class.
- Put Students in small groups of 3-5 students
- As you click to show each new question, students will quietly (or their neighbors might "steal" their answer) discuss the question and answer choices
- Once Timer reaches "Time's Up," say to students, "Ready, Up" (Don't let them raise cards until you say to do so)
- Scan the room to score each group's answer (Tick marks are quick!)
- Click mouse to Reveal the Correct Answer & discuss the question & answer as needed
- The next click begins a new question and next timer will automatically start.

Make Your Own Review Game
- Grab my PowerPoint Template for FREE on TpT. There are 4 template slides with different timers: 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, and 45 seconds
- For each question you create, choose the amount of time, then copy & paste that slide
- Edit the Question #, Question Text, and Answer Choices on the pasted slide
- Drag the Explosion Shape to the correct answer.
- Repeat Steps 2-4 for the remaining questions
- Save your PowerPoint Game!
I print my group's letter cards on card stock, 2 letters per page. I've included a PDF file with Letters A, B, C, & D in the TpT download.
I also have a great 40 Question Chemistry End-of-Year Review Game available on TpT:
