Are you looking for an end-of-unit, mid-term, or final exam review activity? I’m here to help with 10 activities that will spice up your review sessions.
Here are 10 engaging review activities that will make the process both fun and effective. 🚀
1. Quiz Style Games 🎮
There’s a variety of different options out for quiz games. A couple of my favorites are Blooket and Kahoot! 🕹️ Create quizzes tailored to your curriculum and watch your students compete to demonstrate their knowledge.
Many platforms also allow you to search previously created a games. Take advantage of these communities to prevent re-creating the wheel.
2. Concept Maps 🌐
Concept maps help students see the bigger picture by connecting ideas and concepts. Encourage them to map out the relationships between key terms and concepts studied during the unit or semester. This is a great way to help your visual learners.🧠
3. Jeopardy 📺
Who doesn’t love a classic game of Jeopardy?🎉 Divide your class into teams and watch the sparks fly as they answer questions related to your course material. Check out this TPT seller for a ready-to-use template.
4. Interactive Quizzes with Whiteboards 🖍️
Whiteboards make learning fun and interactive. Pose questions to your students and have them write down their answers on whiteboards. It’s instant feedback and an easy go-to activity. If you have a clicker for your board, walk around the room to provide individual feedback and help keep students on task.
5. Gallery Walks
Chat Stations with Discussion Questions 💬
Set up “chat stations” around the classroom with discussion questions related to different topics. Students rotate through them, sharing their insights and learning from one another. 🔄
Graffiti Review 🎨
Give your students a creative outlet by having them “graffiti” everything they know about a particular topic on a designated wall or poster. It’s a colorful and collaborative way to solidify their understanding. 🌈

6. Stations
Stations are an interactive teaching strategy that can transform a boring class into a collaborative learning experience. They get students out of their seats and allow for a variety of different types of questions, materials, and resources to be used. Explore more on stations here.
Give stations a try with the Marketing Review Stations or Business Finance Stations.
7. Business Simulations 💼
Immerse your students in the world of business with simulations. Let them experience real-world scenarios and make decisions. 🏢 These simulations can also serve as a final project or final exam alternative.
Business simulations incorporate key concepts learned throughout the semester while having students use higher-order thinking to apply, create, or synthesize the information. In the business or marketing classroom, we expect our students to learn skills throughout the semester in addition to mastering content. Projects allow students to demonstrate mastery and apply these skills to new settings. Read more about options for final project here.
8. Students Write a Quiz ✍️
Turn the tables and have your students create their own quizzes. It challenges them to think critically about the material and helps them understand it from a different perspective. 🤔 Then swap quizzes and let a classmate take their quiz.
P.S. Don’t forget to have them make an answer key!
9. Make Your Own Study Guide 📝
Encourage students to create personalized study guides. By summarizing key points and concepts, they’ll not only review effectively but also have a handy resource for exams. 📖
10. Four Corners 🔄
Get your students moving and thinking with the “Four Corners” activity. Pose multiple-choice questions, and have them move to the corner of the room that corresponds to their chosen answer. 🏃♀️🏃♂️
For this game, take an old test, practice test, or questions from each past unit test and copy and paste one question onto a slide. Label each corner of your room and have the students move to the corner to respond to each question.
