I suck at games, particularly games in the classroom. Here are two:
1) Matching.
The way it was presented was calculus: each team was given 10 graphs, 10 first derivatives (as sign graphs) and 10 second derivatives (as sign graphs). As a team, you had to match them
I can see this for identifying transformations, basic graphs (match the graph to the point slope form of the equation, etc) - and probably many other applications. Keeper.
2) review game
This one used a smartboard (which of course we don't have and I covet)Throw a koosh ball at the smartboard and a review question appears. You could do the same thing other ways (random number generator or something) as an exam review or even problem of the day.
I’m going to beg your indulgence

throwing a ball at screen? sounds great. I thinkI am going to have a smart board in Sept. I'll try it.
As for the matchng game, I saw that one at workshop I took.
glad you are having fun.
There is a screen available with the smartboard that has circles on it - then somehow (I will ask tomorrow) you "hang" questions on each circle.
Please, please, please find out how to do the smartboard thing. I loooove my smartboard and can't imagine life without it, but I need to keep learning new ways to use so that it doesn't just become a fancy chalkboard!
Throwing things at the smartboard would make my kiddos go crazy with joy!
