This way all students are actively engaged in the work at all times. Tip: Make sure you explicitly tell them that each member of the group must answer all the questions and not just the one whose turn it is to spin. This is continued until all questions are answered. The group members move on to question 2 and then group member #2 would spin.When all members have answered the question and discussed it, group member #1 spins the spinner and eats the jelly bean.Each member of the group must answer the first question.Number your students or have them number themselves in their group (1, 2, 3, etc(.Here are the directions for playing this in a small group or center: I actually purchased 5 sets and then several refill bags so we could “play” this multiple times. This game works well if you have multiple sets of the game. These Reading Task Cards are a great option for a rigorous review that will not have the students spinning and eating as many beans. Bean Boozled Review: Station/Center/Small Group Option These flavor choices for this color are toothpaste or berry and neither of those are gross. Tip: If you have a student that is really hesitant to be Bean Boozled, they can be given the blue jelly bean. Groups who missed the problem can go to the next person or allow the person another chance – your choice.Groups with correct answers send the student whose “turn” it was up to spin for a chance to be bean boozled.The students will take turns (using their assigned numbers) recording the answer on a marker board to hold up at your signal. Each member of the group solves the problem on their own and then the group discusses the answers to come up with a group answer.Project a problem, read a problem aloud, have the students solve a specific problem on a handout, or write a problem on the board.The numbers will be used to determine whose turn it is to hold up the group answer and to spin the spinner for a chance to be bean boozled. Have each student in the group number themselves or you number them- 1, 2, 3 etc.

Group your students in groups of 4-6 (the smaller the better).

This option works perfectly if you are limited to only one Bean Boozled game. We have played this game whole class and in a station so I will share both options with you. We used task cards when we played them however even test prep worksheets would work just as well. The great part about these options is they work perfectly with any subject and any skill. This post contains affiliate links if you wish to purchase the Bean Boozled mentioned in this post. I want to share with you two options for reviewing with Bean Boozled in the classroom. This is one of their favorite test prep review games and is requested by them often. I am glad I did (and so are my students). I was worried about some students getting sick after eating a yucky flavor. The color could be one of two different flavors: a yummy flavor (peach or berry for example) or a disgusting flavor (barf or moldy cheese for example). If you are not familiar with this “game”, the players spin a spinner to determine which color jelly bean they will eat. I will have to admit it that I was a bit on the fence when I first heard about teachers using Bean Boozled in the classroom.
