EOC Review US History Give A Clue Review Game! STAAR Review EDITABLE

Are you looking for a review activity that gets students up and talking? This is my "go to" review activity for EOC review that I call "Give a Clue." It reviews modern US History - 1877 to the present.

You know those days when you finish your lesson 5-10 minutes early and won't want downtime in class? This is the game I pull up to review those days!

How to Play:

• Students stand up and pair up. You can also do groups of 4. Half of each group faces your projector screen and the other half of each group has their back to the screen. You project a slide from the game on your screen. The students facing the screen give clues to their group (with their backs to the screen) to try and get them to guess each of the items they see. After 2-3 minutes you debrief with them, then students switch places.

This is an active review game that allows for students to take the lead! If you listen carefully, you'll be able to tell immediately what they are still struggling with and can debrief/review accordingly.

This product covers the Texas Standards (TEKS) - but since I've left this in Power Point, you can edit and adjust to fit your state standards if necessary.

What is included with this purchase:

• detailed teacher instructions
