1. Strategy: Flashcard Quiz Game

Application: Any course with tests

Educator: Sarah Hadmack, Faculty, Religion, University of Hawaii and Windward Community College , HI

Implementation: Each student creates a question on a 3X5 card for review for a quiz/test.  They then present another student with the question on their card.  If the other student answers correctly, the student gets to keep the card.  If the student answers incorrectly, he/she must move on to another card without any “points.”  Continue until all of the students no longer have their original card.  The student with the most cards wins!  Example of card question:  What is operant conditioning? [Editor’s note: An alternative is to have students create 5 or even 10 question cards.]
