Take a Beachball and place masking tape on the ball in different angles. Write questions from the lesson plan(s) to be reviewed on each strip of tape. The idea for the teacher to begin the game by gently tossing the ball to a student who will be informed to answer the question closest to the left pinkie finger. Then that student will remove the tape. If help is needed to arrive at the correct answer other students may chip in from what they remember. No notes or open books are to be used. This is to be fun and student oriented. The student gets to make the next GENTLE pass. The goal is to get around the room. Whatever was a sticky point needs more review by the teacher. A master list of the questions on the ball is kept for a check list. Hint: do not try this on a balloon. It will pop when the tape is pulled off.
