At first they think the board is not working Students are mesmerised by the spinning What I have found... Students enjoy the challenge of pitting themselves against the random question selection Sense of suspense Builds competition They don’t take very long to make Builds memory skills ‘Miss a Turn’ allows a time out Consolidates Reviews Repetition Reinforces
