Texas History Review Game Swat the Star BUNDLE Full Year of Review 9 games Editable

Looking for a fun Texas History Review Game? This is a great review game that I call Swat the Star! This bundle includes all 9 Swat the Star games - a full year of Texas History review!

How to play: Students "swat" the answer (using cheap fly swatters) - for a team competition. I've included a blank star in case you want to add your own topics. Each game is EDITABLE in PowerPoint!

To play this game you will need 2 different colors of fly swatters. Simply print these stars out and laminate them (or use sheet protectors) and tape them on your wall. One member of each team will be "up" to answer a question that you ask orally. The first to swat the answer wins a point for their team.

You may either create your own questions (based on your assessment) or have students create questions that they turn into you that you can use for the game. I give a grade on their questions and encourage students to try and "stump" each other.

Easy prep! Tons of fun competition.

What's Included?

• Editable PowerPoint containing Over 450 Stars - each with vocabulary, people etc. about Texas History
• -1 blank star is included with each game so that you can copy it off and add your own topics - as many as you wish.
• -Game instructions for the teacher.
