Lesson Plan
In Find It Fast! students not only answer review questions, they must find the answers they seek among many possibilities. The game can be adapted for all subjects in part because all kinds of answers can be used -- numbers, shapes, words, letters, and so on. The game can also be applied at all levels by adjusting the number of questions and answers, their difficulty, the degree of similarity between them.
In preparation for this game, select the subjects for review and create a list of questions with answers. The number of questions will vary according to your preferences and the grade level. You might begin with ten questions and answers, use them, and then start over with a new set of ten, and so on. Write the answers in random order on the chalkboard.
When you are ready to play, divide the students into two teams in lines. Read a question from your list. At your signal, the two students who are first in their lines run to the chalkboard and point to what they believe is the answer to the question. Each player must touch only one answer, and the first player to reach the correct answer earns a point for his team. If neither student chooses the correct answer, read the question again for the next students in line.
