Joyful Learning Feedback

• I have used "Popcorn!" to review my students for
  their midterm.  They were asked to tell each
  other everything they knew about various prompts
  related to literary periods they were required to
  know.  For example, they would tell a partner
  what they knew about the Puritans, or what they
  knew about Romanticism, etc.
• We play "Match Game" every time we have a
  vocabulary quiz coming as a review method
• I used "Who am I?" to review my students for a
  Crucible test
