Very briefly go over some things before the game, without giving too much away.

Jeopardy (Entire class period):

Based off the notes students took in class, they came up with questions for

After a few months of lecturing, students deserve a break while still reviewing
their notes, just having a fun time doing so. Hopefully this helps poor note takers
on their upcoming exam.
