Quiz/Quiz Trade

​This is an excellent vocabulary or content review game.  It takes about ten minutes.  I like it because it gets students up out of their seats and moving around!
 
1.  Students are given one flash card each with the word on front and the definition on back (I use student created cards): 

​2.  Next, I provide a word bank for students of the words they are looking for.  They are instructed to cross the words off of the list when they correctly define a word: 

3.  Finally, I model Quiz/Quiz Trade with another student for the class—the directions are in the name:
 

• Go up to a student and give them the definition of the word from your flashcard. 
• The student tries to correctly provide the word, using their word bank if needed.
• If the student gives the incorrect word the person with the card may try to prompt them with more than the definition. 
• When the student gets the word correct they mark it off of their word bank.
• Then it is that student’s turn to provide the definition to the other student.
• Repeat all steps.
• After the two students have quizzed one another they trade flashcards.
• Both students approach new partners to repeat the whole process of Quiz/Quiz Trade. 

Additional notes after doing this multiple times in class: 
 

• For an extra challenge add words to the word bank that they won’t find.
• Make a rule that if they get the word incorrect the first time they don’t get to cross it off of their list.
• Set the timer for a predetermined time and tell them their goal is to get as many words as they can within that time limit.  I set my timer for 10 minutes.
• Tell them one rule is they can’t sit down (there is usually one student who wants everyone to come to him).
• Finally, remind students that they can go to the same person over and over again because everyone has traded cards, so everyone is constantly getting new cards.
• Get to a student who has a card you’ve already crossed off?  That’s okay!  Extra review!  You still have to Quiz/Quiz Trade! 

Enjoy!
