Up Four It

Up Four It is a high-energy, whole-class review game that combines academic problem solving with movement and teamwork. Students work in two teams to answer questions, earn the chance to place a teammate on a life-size grid, and strategically block or advance toward a four-in-a-row win. The format encourages quick thinking, collaboration, and healthy competition while keeping all students engaged—whether they are answering questions, stealing points, or cheering on their team. This activity works well as a review, formative assessment, or energizing brain break that gets students thinking, moving, and learning at the same time.
