Review and Quiz

7^th and 8^th grade

by E. Luna

This is an art review and the art quiz with the answer key too. I utilize three different games during the review. Also at the very end there is a word search puzzle that I made for my students with special needs during the time of the quiz. 

List of Games

1.      Beat the Clock

Divide the class in 2 teams. They have to stand in a line and if the student gets the question right will seat down. If not then go back of the line.

2.      Speed Ball

The students stand in a circle. They throw the ball to each other. When teacher says ‘stop’; the student who’s holding the ball will answer the review question.

3.      Last Man Standing

The students stand next to their seat. The teacher asks a question, students raise their hand if answer is correct keeps standing if not sits down. The students get to have two turns so they don’t seat right away for those who get it wrong.
