Why this works

Students don’t just recall definitions — they compete to give the most precise, exam-ready answer.

• 0 points = perfect definition (Pointless!)
• 1–3 points = increasingly vague or incorrect answers

This rewards:

• Depth of knowledge
• Accurate economic terminology
• Exam technique under pressure

How to use

1. Split your class into 2–4 teams
2. Display the game on the board
3. Reveal a key term
4. Teams confer and give a definition
5. Award points using the built-in system
6. Lowest total score wins

Ideal for 10–30 minute starters, plenaries, or full revision lessons.

Perfect for

• A Level Economics teachers
• Year 12 & Year 13 revision
• Retrieval practice routines
• Cover lessons (minimal prep required)

Tech requirements

• Opens in any web browser
• No internet required after download
• Works on interactive whiteboards and projectors

If you’re looking for a low-prep, high-impact revision tool that gets every student thinking and competing — this is it.
