Capture the Flag Review Game

 Capture the Flag - Review Style!


Do your students complain when it comes time to review for their chapter test? Are they tired of getting a review worksheet or packet and then spend the period complaining about having to do more work? 

I was tired of the same few kids doing the review (you know - the ones who don't need to do the review) while the rest of the class did little to nothing. I knew I needed a change. 

What is Capture the Flag Review

Teams must work together on the review one question at a time. When their team gets a question correct, they get to capture a flag from another team and place it on their board space. The team with the highest (or lowest - let the class decide before starting the game) points wins. The catch is, they don't know the value of the flags until the game is over. 

Supplies

  • Review worksheet and answers
  • 6 Flags per team copied on colored card stock (laminate to help flags last)
    • I found these for free on TPT
  • Magnets (I used these from Amazon - aff link)


How to Play

Decide as a class if they want the team with the highest of lowest points to win. Split the class into teams of 3 or 4 and give everyone a worksheet. Teams work together answering one question at a time on their review. After everyone in their team has the work and the answer for a question, they raise their hand and the teacher checks the teams papers. 

Everyone in the team must have all of the work and the answer before they are counted correct. I also do not allow students to move on to another question until the entire team is ready - otherwise they forfeit that question. 

When a team gets the question correct, they go up to the board and take a flag from another team and place it in their space. They can then work on another question. 



End of the Game

You can decide if the game is over when one team has no flags, or when all teams are done with the review (or when you run out of time in class). 


How Teams Score Points

At the end of the game, pull up a random number generator and enter the values from -10 to 10 and use this to assign point values to each color flag. The team with the highest (or lowest - depending on what the class decided at the start) wins! 




You can watch THIS YouTube video where I talk about the game. 
I made an Instagram Reel about this game as well - you can check it out HERE.

Back to School Team Building Activities

  I recommend NOT going over the syllabus on the first day of class, and here's why: every teacher goes over the syllabus the first day of class. Not that there is anything wrong with this, but after hearing the same thing over and over, kids tend to stop listening. This is true if you have 8 periods a day or are on block schedule and only have 4. After 2nd period, kids stopped paying attention. So, what do you do on the first day of school if you don't go over the syllabus?  I like to do teambuilding activities the first day of school. My students work in teams all year, so I want to set the mood right away by having them do something as a team.  Before the kids leave, I do let them know what supplies are needed for class, and tell them there is a copy on Canvas (our LMS). This way, parents can go buy school supplies right away if they want. I start going over the syllabus over the next 2-3 class periods. I post a copy of the syllabus on Canvas so students can look thoug...

Ideas for Going Over Homework

One of my biggest struggles as a teacher has always been how to go over homework in class without taking up too much time.  Time is always a teacher's biggest enemy, and going over homework is part of the challenge. Some students want to go over every problem, which becomes difficult, especially when the level of math increases. There are other students who don't care about going over the homework (either because they didn't do it or because they aren't interested in seeing if they got the correct answers). This can then lead to off task behavior on some. I have tried so many different techniques when it comes to going over homework over my many years of teaching, and I thought I would share a few of my favorites. This is not a complete list of ideas, but gives a starting point if you are struggling with time management and grading homework.  1. 5 Minute Time Limit ⏰ Post the answers only up on the board and give students a few minutes (2-3) to check their answers. Then...
