An amalgamation of a bunch of the lessons for Ch 1/2/3 from the Chapter forums all wrapped into one Jeopardy template. Keeps the kids quiet at least, while I wait for midterms to roll around. Credit all due to those who made the Chapter lessons/games.

Oops, looks like DNR0311 beat me to it with the Jeopardy game! I also have a Jeopardy game here, in a different style to DNR0311's. I just finished making the (textbook-based) questions for it.

The categories are:
- Correct Sentence (students have to choose the correct or incorrect sentence)
- Directions (giving directions, and finding a place on a map)
- Reminders (Make sure you...)
- Excuses (I'm sorry)
- Unscramble (make a sentence from the words given)
- Random (includes some questions about traveling and finding places/things in a building)

I usually get the students into teams of 4 and give them whiteboards so they can all have a go at the answer. I let the teams take turns choosing the category.

Hope this helps you out.

Here are my materials for the review lesson for Chapters 1-3. I teach the second graders twice a week, so the first lesson will be a review PPT and worksheets, and the second lesson will probably be the Jeopardy game from above. The PPT is a mix of resources I used when we were teaching the chapters regularly, and the worksheet is based off of an amazing worksheet set I found in the 1st grade review postings, and modified to fit the second grade.

Here's a review bomb game for lessons 1-3.  I'm in an all girls school, and they really like the Frozen theme.

Hi,

I'm attaching a Jeopardy game for lessons 1 and 2. I didn't end up getting to play it with my students, but prepped it, so I thought I'd share.

The design is from some PowerPoint genius who posted the template on waygook. It's really well done.

Cheers,
Edgeworth

This might be a bit late this time around, but if anyone has the materials and wants to use this template, they can feel free to do so.

For this review I actually had a Jenga game on me, and remembered playing a Jenga review game in high school (we also played "grab the marker," but that would definitely turn into a fight with most students, to be honest).

There are three teams (two trying to answer, the third on standby to steal in case the other two can't answer), and the person who doesn't answer first must pull a Jenga block. They have to try not to make it fall! You cycle through teams (1-2, 2-3, 3-1, 1-2...) and students.

My students liked it a lot, but be careful with the noise levels. My coteachers talked to them beforehand about being too loud, and one particular strategy that seemed to work well was to have them quiet when the two competitors are ready for the question (after enough rounds, they will stand up to answer without prompting), but allow talking and commentary while the person is pulling the Jenga block.

Make sure to discourage students (particularly male students) from pulling an obviously terrible block (I had one boy knock over the whole thing on the first turn). Also keep an eye out - sometimes students don't want to answer because they want to pull a block (I have some notes on this in the PPT).

Hope this material will be helpful for someone!

Here's my review PPT for chapters 4-6. It's basically the same format as my previous one, going through the key expressions while having students fill in the blanks. I plan to go through it with them and then play some sort of review game. It's basic, but it does cover all of the expressions.

And here's the game I'm planning on playing to review next week. The template is not mine, so all credit to its original creator (the game is Super Mario Golden Bell).

I did include a couple questions about the reading section, just to up the difficulty so I could be sure of only a couple winners, and I also have some questions about specific things that I taught (Black Friday, "lame," etc), so if you didn't teach those and want to use this, just make sure to change those questions.

Here's my review lesson/game for chapters 6 and 7 (my school is taking midterms next week). The game does require a dartboard sort of thing (I bought one for 3,000 won at Daiso, with velcro balls), but you could probably replace that with something drawn on the board and a sticky ball, or whatever else you can come up with.

So, first, just a quick overview of the two chapters, where students fill in the blanks to make the key expressions. More practice with pictures. Then the game.

For the picture-prompt questions, I planned to use any one of the following prompts (after the slashes are the expected student answers):
- How was your vacation? / (It was ~. I ~swam~.)
- I (won the contest! got eaten by a shark!) / I'm glad/sorry to hear that!
- What do you do in your free time? / I (usually) ~.
- I'm free now. What should we do? / Why don't we ~?

(The last one might need more explanation and prompting than others.)

This is a review lesson for chapters 7 and 8 of the 2014 2nd grade text book. The review lesson is bits an pieces culled from mine and other lessons on the chapters, and the game includes picture of me, my co-teacher, and my students, so you may want to change those pictures out.

Tom & Jerry bomb game for lesson 6 & 7.  Thanks Laci Teacher for the template and shostager above for some of the content (maybe a lot I don't really remember)!

There are about 6 of each question that was covered in the lessons, so 12 for lesson 6 and 12 for lesson 7.  I usually have whiteboards in my class so I like the teams to write down the answers first and then speak them as a group.  Enjoy or edit as you please.

Here's my review and game PPT before their final exams. It covers chapters 8-10. The first part is a review of the key expressions, and practice with pictures. The second part is the dartboard "Bullseye" game again, since students have been asking to play it. It's pretty straightforward.

Note: I've got some graphs in there that are results from the survey I did of my students, so feel free to take those out or switch them with something else...

Here's my pre-exam Jeopardy review game for lessons 1-3. The way I play it is to get the students into teams of 4 or 5 and give each team a whiteboard. All teams answer all questions, and only a perfect answer gets the points. We correct any mistakes as a class. I have each team member take turns writing on the whiteboard, to prevent the same students from writing the whole time.

Edit: Upgraded to a fancier Jeopardy template (thanks to the creator), changed a few questions, and added a few gifs because why not.

Our next exam only covers lessons 4 and 5. Here is a Jeopardy review game for those lessons.

I took the jeopardy above me and trashed the random category to add in chapter 5's good news /bad news.

(chapter 4, 5, 6)

I also attached sentences which you can either do a running dictation or you can do a game with. Basically, have them in lines of 4 or 5 students and show the last student the sentences. They must whisper it to the people in front of them, etc etc and the first person in their group must write it down. That way, every student gets involved.

They made me have a 70 minute review class so I put in a words earch too. Just make them write the korean translations as well. Sorry that "side dishes" got split. Just tell the students that side dishes is one phrase.

Changed the Batman above to more relevant questions like "What does _____ usually do in their free time" using kpop stars instead of her students/her/her coteachers. Also changed a few questions and used questions from the reading part of the chapters.

Another wordsearch...I only do two a semester (mid-terms and finals), I swear lol. Also, make your students write the translations so you know they know the meaning.

My students are reviewing 6-7, and since I'm all about creativity, I made a role-play for them. It may not work for some middle schools, but my students are okay with it (they like being silly). The first "scene" (it's only one page for all 3 "scenes") reviews 6-7, and the two shorter ones review earlier parts of the book (excuses, directions, and opinions).

The best one so far involved a concert, riding a lion, and North Korea. Other students decided to attend the wedding ceremony of two of their classmates. One girls' class involved strange cartoon voices and singing in their presentations. If you suggest some interesting/funny characters and plans before they start, I find that really kick-starts their imagination!

Attached: PPT for quick review, and the role-play (fill-in-the-blanks, called "dialogue")
