SMART Lab has several great game templates (shout out, match, sort, etc.). One that is perfect as a team review game is Monster Lab. I created 10 multiple choice questions for three-digit addition and subtraction. Each student logged onto hellosmart.com and entered his/her name. I had the program randomly sort them into 5 teams. (Teachers have the option of rearranging the members if they want better balance before the challenge starts.) Every student also had a dry-erase board and marker to work out the sums and differences. The kids were so focused during this 15 minutes that you could hear a pin drop! Though there were several quiet bursts of joy when students and saw their team monster begin to burst from the shell with every correct answer. I know they enjoyed this activity a lot because many asked to do it again. So it looks like Monster Lab review games are a winner!
