Go from zero to sixty in less than a minute with a new school twist on a classic “teacher makes up the questions on the fly” review game that will have your students racing with delight! Zero prep for teachers. One hundred percent engagement from students. Are you ready to put the pedal to the medal?
EMC² Learning’s Track Attack collection is an all-new classroom review game series that turns ordinary Q&A into a high-speed, strategic race for points, power-ups, and ultimate bragging rights! Imagine the thrill of racing games combined with the dynamic excitement of classroom competition. With Track Attack, we’ve transformed the traditional review session into an action-packed adventure where students race against each other, collecting points and outsmarting their rivals along the way. Best of all, teachers can dive right in with no advance prep required – just project the game board onto the screen, and you’re ready to roll!
In Track Attack, student teams answer review questions to earn the right to move their pieces forward along a vibrant race track filled with all sorts of colorful collectibles. As they race, they’ll pass through spaces that reward points and score multipliers, boosting their chances of victory. But that’s not all – power-up items are scattered throughout the track, giving teams the winning edge they’ll need to outmaneuver their opponents. Whether it’s banking points for safe keeping or unleashing playful mischief on rival racers, every turn brings new strategic decisions and excitement.
Adding to the exhilaration, each team can shift gears from first to fifth at any time throughout the course of their race, with each new gear unlocking faster speeds and richer power-up abilities. This gives students the chance to play things safe if they’re up against a question topic that feels a bit too challenging — or the power to lock in top speed by wagering even more points as they shift into higher gears. But there’s a twist – getting a question wrong means spinning out, which will cause a team to lose all unbanked points and have to start their throttle back over from first gear. This mechanic keeps the game fresh and thrilling, as teams must balance the risk of advancing too quickly with the reward of gaining a strategic advantage. It’s a race to the finish line where knowledge and strategy go hand in hand.
To make Track Attack even more engaging, we’ve dreamed up a variety of exotically themed race tracks that will transport your students to all kinds of colorful, far-flung locales where their imaginations can run wild. From the deserted island of the Leaky Tiki Turnpike to the interstellar Asteroid Avenue and the medieval Renn Faire Freeway, each track brings a unique backdrop and atmosphere to your classroom. Plus, your students can select their very own ready-made avatar racers to add even more color and life to the game. Simply print the player tokens, and you’re ready to play!
And of course (as is the case with every one of the resources available inside of the EMC² Learning platform), Track Attack is designed for maximum student engagement with minimal teacher effort. We’ve built everything you need right into the game, ensuring that you can focus on what matters most – creating classrooms where content knowledge and creativity can be celebrated as you strengthen relationships by guiding your students through an unforgettable learning experience. Get ready to watch your classroom light up with excitement as students race, compete, and collaborate in this unique and captivating review game. So gear up and get ready to attack the track – because in this game, every question counts, every move matters, and every student is in for the ride of their life!
