I'm revisiting a post I wrote for another blog about an awesome idea for reviewing skills. Let me know what you think.

Looking for a fun way to review for those end of the week tests or just want to do an informal assessment of how much information your students are really learning? Well, Tic-Tac-Know is an easy and FUN way to do just that!!
In my gifted classes we do mini-studies on various topics. For example, one of the most recent was on kaleidoscopes. After we did our research and had some discussion. Then, I wanted to see just how much they retained and really comprehended, so we "played" Tic-Tac-Know.
It's really simple, but fun and effective. I use painter's tape to mark off a large, life-sized Tic-Tac-Toe board on our carpet.
I compile a list of questions about our current study or whatever we are reviewing. Next, I divide my students into two teams (Team X and Team O.)
The teams stand, in rows, on opposite sides of the tic-tac-toe board. We flip a coin to see which team goes first and I ask a question to the first person on that team. If it is answered correctly, the person takes a spot on the game board. X's will stand and O's will sit, so at a glance, we can see who's who. If the answer it incorrect, no one moves and I move on to the other team. This continues until one team gets tic-tac-toe (3 in a row.)
This game of human tic-tac-know can be used with any subject and is an exciting way to review skills.
Some other ideas for Tic Tac Know could include:
- reviewing math facts
- comprehension questions about a book
- reviewing antonyms/synonyms
- homophones/homonyms review
- stating facts and opinions
What's your favorite way to review with your students?
