24. HUH???????? (Questioning, Feedback)
Description: This review game combines content knowledge and chance in a fun and engaging way.
Application: Use as a review of previously learned material.
Process: At the end of a unit, course, or section of study, create cards that have five clues on one card, the first card very broad (50 points) to the most simple clue (10 points). Make a Huh? Sheet (addendum below). Organize students’ desks in a more traditional “row” manner. Arrange five students per row, but four to six students in a row can be accommodated. Designate each row as a “team” and the first person in the row will be the recorder for the row. Use a generic example for the first time: Move to the first row and address the first student in the row. Give the fifty point clue: “I am a man.” (Student will try to answer, but usually he will say, “Huh?) Address the second student in that row and say, “For forty points, I am a founding father” The student will try to answer or say “huh?” Again, say to the next person in the same row, “I supported many Federalist ideas for thirty points.” Stop the clues when either the answer is given (points are awarded) or there are no points left. In the latter case, put the clue card back into the active pile and move to the next row for another set of clues. At that time, direct students to shift forward one seat, with the first person in the row moving to the last seat. Tell students they cannot help their teammates and if another team blurts out an answer, they are the ultimate losers because they are competing against that row! Also, warn teams that if a teammate gives an answer, the question is out and the teacher goes to the next row. Declare the team with the most points “winner.”
