Competition

Well, thus far in teaching this year, I have learned that competition really gets the students going. This is especially helpful in my classes right before lunch. If we do a review activity and the winner gets to go to lunch early, I have a lot of buy-in and the students strive to do well. Not only that, I have used Jeopardy! (of course!) to review and a modified style of Family Fued. It really gets the students involved and they enjoy the activities and the prizes. Any other game or competition ideas?
