Games Currently, there are 6 types of games students can play. Super Shooter (Basketball) , Super Taker (Soccer), Super Pong (Ping-Pong), Super Striker (Golf), Super Hitter (Baseball) and Super Quiz (for the students who do not like games, but want to review for test anyway). Games are based on a 10 question data set where the questions and answers are randomly ordered in each game. Any educator can create games at this site by simply signing up for a FREE account.

What other Teachers are saying about the Review Game Zone:

"I wanted to let you know that my kids love this site! I have always used quia.com in the past. I was so thrilled to discover teachers were able to make their own games. Thank you!!! My kids actually play at home when they get "bored"! That is awesome when they could be playing any computer game." ~ S. O.

Downloads Blank Student Study Sheet Intro Hello and welcome to the Review Game Zone. This entire site was created to provide students with a fun and interactive incentive to review material for upcoming exams and quizzes.

Effectiveness of Games As with anything, the students that want to study will, however, we have received reports from many teachers that students, who would typically not open their books to review for exams, are now parking themselves in front of the computer and playing a few games the night before the exams. We understand that this site is not meant to replace good old "studying" but teachers have seen a dramatic increase in student study habits by using this site.

School Districts Firewall and Website Blocking

It has come to my attention that some schools are now blocking this site. I have written to several districts and they informed me that this is being done because software automatically searches each website for certain keywords and phrases. One keyword from this site is "games" which many schools currently block automatically. It doesn't matter that these are "educational games", the system automatically blocks them. This site is 100% educational and can only improve student work habits! If this site is blocked at your school, please contact your system administration and let them know that this site may be blocked in error and request a manual review of this site. Most districts unblock the site once they realize this is a site dedicated to education and not just for playing games.

How to Use the Site

A few days prior to the exam I usually create my test for the class. Then I log onto the site (reviewgamezone.com) and browse the topics. I jot down each topic ID # which is located next to the game title (e.g.: Sedimentary Rocks (ID#: 4)) that is relevant for the particular exam on this study sheet, then print it out, make copies, and give it to my students as a way to prepare for exams. Check out a sample I have used this year: Sample 1

Unique Game ID #

As mentioned earlier, each game has an ID #. This was done to allow students fast access to a particular game without having to “dig” or “search” through the site. An example: [Sedimentary Rocks (ID#: 4)]: Here you can see that the ID for this game is 4. If you think this game would benefit your students, simply tell them to plug the number 4 into the “Find Game by ID #” box located in the upper right hand corner of each page. Once you find a game, you can find it any time by entering its ID # in the “Find Game by ID #” text box on the right hand side of any page. This will bring you right to the game.

Games by Teacher

This feature allows your students to input your name into a search box and all of the games that you created will be displayed on one page for easy access. This is a time saver and allows almost instant access to all your games! In order to use this feature, you must log in to your account and complete your user profile. Failure to complete your profile will prevent your students from using this feature!

Search Feature

Finding the particular topic you are currently working on could take a long time if you had to search through each game, so a very powerful search function is built into the site. The built in search engine is an extremely powerful tool to help you find the particular game/topic you are looking for. This can be accessed from any page on the upper left hand side. If you are looking for a game on “immunology” and you get no results, try to broaden your search term by using “immune” instead.

Google Search Feature

This site has now implemented a google search to compliment the original site search engine. This allows students and teachers to maximize their search results.

Bookmark

Each page now has an easy to use social book marking link. When students or teachers click on this link, they are able to create an instant link back to a particular game or topic they were working on. This proves invaluable when students are working at school and want to continue with a game at home or at a different computer.
