Give the game one clear job in the lesson

Decide whether the activity will introduce vocabulary, restore attention, check comprehension, or review a whole unit. A five-minute opener should not require the same setup as a twenty-five-minute team event, and a review game should stay close to the passage students have just heard.

Before class, open the chosen topic, test the screen, and decide how answers will move through the room. During play, let the reference and explanation complete each turn. That makes the activity part of teaching rather than a reward detached from it.
