Wordsplash

"Splash" terms all over a sheet, and have students make relationships between the terms. I usually have students write out a couple sentences on the board using as many terms as they can.

Usually, descriptions of this call for a "predictive" phase before you study, then students check on their predictions. However, I've used it simply as a summing up tool after studying material.

It works effectively both for reviewing specific terms, and for getting students to think about relationships, i.e., go beyond recall.

Numbered Heads Together

I've used this when playing review Jeapardy. It has been especially effective when I used whiteboards, so that all teams can answer at the same time.
