Unit Review Activity Ideas Part 1: Speed Dating

Exams are around the corner and I would like to start a series on sharing ideas of how I run review sessions with my class. But really, these review activity ideas can really be used at any time of the year.

Idea 1: Speed Dating

ft. Task Cards

Front view.
Back view.

🟠arrange the desk so students are facing each other

🟠have students assign themselves as “A” or “B”

🟠student “A” starts asking the question on the question card

🟠student “B” answers

🟠student “A” corrects them using the answer on the back of the card

🟠set a timer for a desired time and then rotate

Each pair takes turn asking each other question.

I was quite pleased with how it turned out because the students who are normally more timid participated as well. They were more willing to give these questions a try because it was such a low stress task (ie. didn’t have to worry about looking “silly” even if they weren’t sure about the questions).

Depending on how challenging you want the activity to be, you can ask the students to do this activity without the help of their notes.

Give this a try and let me know what you think!

If you find this helpful, feel free to check out my other posts and my IG page for more ideas. 🙂
