This is a good opener or closing activity for reviewing class material. It can engage all learners in the review and work with large or small groups.

How?

• In pairs, students will review as many key concepts from class that they can remember.
• Student A will shout out any concept, idea, issue covered in class (make sure student explains idea), followed by Student B.
• Students will continue volleying concepts back & forth until they run out of ideas.
• They cannot repeat something said by their partner. Spend approx. 8-10 min doing this.
• Once in large group ask students for 1 concept/ idea and explain it.
• Once all have shared the leader can list any concept that may have been missed or needs further discussion.
