Beat the clock

Beat the clock encourages motivation in learning

I utilize Beat the Clock based on Power Point Lecture Objectives at the end of the lecture.  The team that answers the defines the most ojectives in a given time frame win.  This encourages my students to pay closer attention during lecture and the the winners get "goodies" from the price box that is full of Halloween candy, 

I recently used beat the clock for students learning several cardiac medications. There were two back to back quizzes on cardiac medications, one focused on how the different names matched up, the second one focused on matching the name with the type of drug it was. There were snacks to win. The two quizzes reinforced ten meds they had to learn. The students were interested and involved in winning the prizes. They did well also.
