A 15-Minute Review Quiz with Random Pick, Timer, and Scoreboard

Use the last 15 minutes of a lesson for a simple review activity that gets every student involved. This example combines Random Pick, Timer, and Scoreboard.

Preparation

  • Duration: about 15 minutes
  • Format: individual or team quiz

The three tools are not connected automatically. The teacher switches between them as needed during the quiz.

Tips

  • Explain how points work before the quiz starts.
  • Using Timer only to limit thinking time is often enough.
  • If showing names feels uncomfortable, use numbers or team names instead.
  • If review is the main goal, you don't need to emphasize score differences.
