This trivia game is a fun way to review material. I've used it here with Thomas Paine and Patrick Henry but I also use it in some form at the end of any major unit. Students are broken into teams of no more than 4. The teams first task is to come up with a team name related to the subject. Ex: The Liberators or Freedom Avengers. Each group is given multiple slips of paper on which to put their team name; without the team name on each slip the team will not receive points for their submitted answer. These will be their answer cards for each question. The teacher announces the pt. value of the question and reads it once. All teams have one minute to answer the ques. and place the answer in a bowl. This way, students aren't knocking each other over to get their answer in first. Students are reminded to work collectively and quietly because if another team overhears their answer they may steal it- this cuts down on shouting out. After the minute is up the teacher gives the correct answer and then reads the answer submitted by each team and the points are assigned accordingly. Repeat these steps for as many questions as you need to cover in the time allotted. Often several teams end up in a tie so you need a "Lightening Round" to break any ties.
