How to make a classroom review game from any lesson
The night before review day usually costs teachers an evening: hunting a Jeopardy template, typing questions into boxes, fixing the one slide that breaks. The faster version is typing the unit itself — clauses and sentence structure, the water cycle, the causes of World War I — and getting a hosted, scored game you approve before any student sees it.
Playable example
Grammar Grade 8
A fact-checked grammar pack hosted by Luna: ten medium questions on clauses, parts of speech, and sentence structure. Play it the way a student would before generating one for your own unit.
The idea
Review day, without the prep evening
Review games work because retrieval beats rereading — students pulling answers out under light pressure remember more than students watching a summary. The problem was never the format; it was the hour of template-filling it cost the teacher every single unit.
Here the unit topic is the input. Type it and a voiced host, timed questions, and automatic scoring come built in seconds. You stay the editor: read every question before class, swap any that miss your emphasis, and only then hand students the link. Nothing goes in front of the class that you have not approved.
From lesson to game
Step 1
Start from the unit, not a blank page
Type the topic the way you would say it to your class — "linear equations with one variable," "the digestive system," "To Kill a Mockingbird chapters 1–11." On Creator Pro, paste a study-guide URL or upload the PDF and the questions come from your actual material.
Step 2
Review and edit every question
You approve what students see. Read the generated round, edit or swap anything that misses your emphasis, and keep the difficulty where your class needs it.
Step 3
Share one link — or project it
Students open the link on their own devices with no accounts to create, or you project a single screen and run it as a whole-class round.
Step 4
Let the leaderboard show who needs another pass
Scores collect automatically, so the results screen doubles as a quick formative read on which concepts stuck and which need one more lap before the test.
Formats
Four ways to run it
Whole-class review
Project the game and play through it together, arguing about answers out loud — the classic pre-test hour.
Station rotation
One device per station; the game is one of the stations. Small groups race the same round.
Homework link
Send the link through your LMS or email the night before the test. Students play on their own time; no accounts needed.
Sub plans
Leave the link in your sub folder. The host runs the review so the substitute does not have to know the material.
What works in a real classroom
Short beats long
Five to ten questions per round keeps attention tight. Run two short rounds on two subtopics rather than one marathon.
Same pack, every period
One link works for every section you teach — and replaying it costs nothing extra.
Make it about your material
Questions come from the topic or source you provide, not a generic question bank — so the game reviews what you actually taught.
Common questions
Do students need accounts?
No. Students open the link and play — no signups, no emails collected from them, no app to install. Only the teacher creating games needs an account.
Can I check the questions before class?
Yes, and you should — review the generated round and edit or swap any question before sharing the link. You approve everything students see.
Is it free?
The free plan makes 5-question games with standard hosts — enough for exit tickets and quick reviews. Creator Pro ($11/mo) raises rounds to 20 questions and generates from your URLs and PDFs.
What subjects does it handle?
Any topic you can type — strongest on mainstream curriculum content. Whatever the subject, the review-before-class step above is where you keep the questions aligned to what you taught.

Type the unit, review the questions, and share one link — the host, timing, and scoring are already handled.
