About this resource

What's inside this resource

This is an easy to use basketball review game template. This game is great to review before quizzes and tests! This game is generic and works with any subject area such as English, history, math, science, social studies, etc. 

This review game is interactive! Have your students break into 5 groups and come up with team names. Then have them answer questions. If they answer correctly, have the students click anywhere on the basketball which will automatically go to one of three random slides. Each of the three slides assign different point values. Once your students answer correctly, they can earn 1, 2, or 3 points. This is a very easy to follow, interactive Google Slides game.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Make a personal copy of the Google Slides file before editing, so the original template stays intact for future classes.

  • Fill in all 26 question and answer slides before presenting, since the point-value slides are randomly triggered regardless of subject.

  • Assign one team captain per group to be the only student who gives answers, keeping the game orderly for up to 5 teams.

  • Stay out of Present mode when updating the Team Scores slide, since points must be added while outside of Present mode.

Skills covered

  • Game facilitation — the teacher runs a 5-team review game where correct answers let a team click the basketball for a random 1-3 point value.

  • Content customization — the teacher edits 26 blank question-and-answer slide pairs to build a review covering any subject or topic.

  • Team-based review structure — a single team captain per group gives answers, keeping a whole-class review activity orderly.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How are point values assigned during the game?

Clicking anywhere on the basketball after a correct answer jumps to one of three randomly selected slides worth 1, 2, or 3 points, so scoring stays unpredictable.

How many teams can play?

The template is set up for five teams, each with its own team name and running score on the Team Scores slide, which can be changed to match your class.
