I use the spinner on my promethean board for values, including lose a turn and bankrupt.  The puzzles can be review, or new information.  I usually put the students in teams and they have a printout of the puzzles to fill in.  I scanned an alphabet to keep track of letters and also scan the puzzles to write on using the white board on the promethean.  Before I had a promethean a plain old white board worked well.  The kids like this game, especially when the other teams get a bankrupt.

DOTS
- At least 2 players; minimal teacher supervision
-I used it as a very small group review or practice of vocabulary for definitions or decoding (spices up review ofword-reading lists  that are at or near mastery)Good for differentiation
-Draw or distribute copies of a grid of dots to be connected.   A correct response entitles a player to connect 2 adjoining dots to form a horizontal or vertical line. The object is to have the last line to complete a square - strategizing so you don't give that opportunity to your opponent. Player with the most completed squares wins.
-Probably could be done with an online whiteboard, but I've never tried it.

each group is assigned certain vocabulary words and has to make Taboo cards for them; vocabulary word at the top and five words underneath it that are most commonly associated with it; I then collect all of the cards and use the document camera to project the cards; we set a three minute timer; one group at a time comes to the front of the room; I set chairs facing the audience where they can’t see the board or what is being projected; one of the teammates sits where they can flip the cards under the document camera; they have three minutes to get through as many cards as they can; they are not allowed to say any of the five words listed below and have to be creative to get their team to say the word or phrase at the top of the card; the rest of the class is watching/listening to see if they mess up; when the three minutes is up, write down how many cards they got and call up another team; I often have students come in during lunch and after school on a Friday to play with the Taboo cards

break students up into groups; call on one person at time from each group to answer a question; if they get it right, they pick a card from the pile; cards vary (your team gets 50 points, you may switch to the winning team, your score goes up or down to zero, your team loses 100 points, subtract 5 from your score, double your total points, bring another team to zero, join the losing team – they need all the help they can get, divide your score by 2, add 100 points, select any team to bring/up down to zero, go the 2nd place team – hopefully you can help them, reverse direction, give 25 points to the team of your choice, steal 25 points from another team, multiply your score by 2); you can also add fun cards “5 points or 500 if everyone in your team sings the alphabet”

I have a small basketball hoop stuck on my whiteboard. When it come time to review vocabulary and content towards the end of a unit, I play a game of basketball review. I divide the class into 2 teams (usually east and west to review 2nd grade compass rose skills). A student comes up to hoop with me and answers a question. If correct, they get a point for their team and 3 chances to shoot the basketball for a bonus point.

I used an Among Us type review game and modified it so that students had to move around the map and answer review questions. Some students repaired the ship and some sabotaged it. The students worked in groups of six and could see if someone in their group sabotaged. They would then vote for who was the imposter. The students absolute loved it! I have a link to it here.

When learning about Ancient Greece, I have the class split up into the different city states of Ancient Greece. Those groups are in charge of learning deeply about their city state and teaching our class. Then, each city state must create their city state flag for the passing of our torch around campus. After our initial ceremony, we compete in all of the traditional games except for wrestling - for gavlin we throw wrapping paper, for discus we throw frisbees, then we have an individual and a team foot race in which students must pass a sword. Students are in charge of measuring using a measuring tape to record the distance.

Great cooperative learning review game

Break up class into teams of four or five.
Each team member has a number 1-5 in all teams.
Give a question.
Kids put their heads together and must make sure that everyone knows the answer.
Call on number 4s, for example to answer the question.
Pick a team to answer.  They get a point if their number 4 answered properly.
Stress that it is the team's responsibility to know the answer, not just the number called on.

kids make basic study cards for test review. (teacher can set parameters for what this looks like) The cards have question on one side, answer on the other. I ask each kid to do 10. Collect 2 cards from each student. Kids keep 8. (if someone did not do homework, I just create a station for them and they work on this while other kids are playing...when they are done, they can join the game) All students stand up and pair up. Goal is to get rid of all cards. Teacher has a small prize for when that happens. When I say "Play" pairs rock paper scissor. Winner picks if they ask questions or answer questions. If they ask questions, they take all questions from partner as well as their own cards. Asker asks as many questions as they can in the time teacher gives. (teacher picks time but keeps it private...students do not know when the timer will go off...this element makes kids try to go faster) Sometimes the timer goes off quickly and an "asker" may end up with a ton of cards. Sometimes the kids are given enough time to go through all the cards. If a student gets the question correct, the partner keeps the card. If they get the card wrong, the student answering gets that card. When a student has no cards left, they get a prize. (I give a sweet treat and the gift of knowledge...for me this is a jolly rancher and 5 new study cards from that stack I collected in the beginning) Students re-pair up for each session. They soon learn there is strategy here. Students must be standing to play. It helps keep them on track. This is a fast-paced game.

I play this game with my history classes at the end of a unit sometimes. I bring in a box of Legos (a big box - various pieces). I divide the class into groups of four. This usually makes for five or six groups. On a slip of paper, I write out five or six different scenes (taken from things we studied). Each scene goes on a slip of paper. Groups pull one of the scenes from the hat and have 10 minutes to build the scene with Legos. At the end of the 10 minutes, groups will move around the room and try to guess the scene for other groups. The group with the most correct guesses wins.
