Review is my favorite time of the semester. I enjoy students having the knowledge to answer questions and understand the concepts they learned throughout the semester. I also genuinely enjoy board games. To review for finals, I had my students create a human board game. Each student designed two pieces that were each incorporated into our board game that we then set up in the atrium. Some created pieces that allowed players to jump spaces, swap places, or preform a task. The students acted as human pieces in the board game and they moved around the board. We rolled large foam dice to determine how many spaces to move. In order to get to move, students had to answer a review question correctly. I incorporated old tests into this activity.
Students really seemed to enjoy this activity. Every student was exposed to each question and gained knowledge of all questions asked, rather than only receiving exposure to the question directly asked to them. Students also enjoyed the freedom to control the tone of the board they played on. I will certainly be using this activity again!
