A-Z Review - A Quick, Fun, low Prep Way to Review content!

A - Z Content Review is something I came up with that gets students excited, competitive and thinking very deeply about the content they have learned over the course of the year!  An added bonus is that it takes almost no prep on the teacher's part!

​SET UP

• You need a vertically cut half sheet of paper for each group.
• That's it!

​STEPS

1. Direct one group member to write the letters of the alphabet down the margin of a slip of paper.
2. Explain that once you say, "Go!" the students need to pass the paper around their group with each group member writing something they learned about in your class for each letter that starts with the letter (EX: Ziggurat for Z).
3. The team that finishes first within a given amount of time wins.  If no group finishes their list , the team with the least letters left empty wins.

​TAKE AWAYS

• Students build team work skills while competing.
• When groups get hung up on a letter or two (like Q or X), they start really wracking their brains and remember all sorts of content that you may have even forgotten covering with them!

So, that's it.  Another quick, fun, low prep way to review content with your students.  If you try this out, please let me know how it went in the comments, and if you liked it, look through this blog for more quick and easy ways to review with your students along with a lot of other great stuff.  And, if you are looking for interesting, interactive or inclusive Social Studies resources, please consider checking out my TeachersPayTeachers store.
