Christine shares exactly how she structures this multi-step, small-group challenge to reinforce clinical reasoning, safety, and teamwork in the endocrine unit.With fun clues, movement, and a bit of competition, this active learning activity transforms a traditional content review into something memorable and fun. This review format could be adapted to any content and this episode offers instructions for how you can adapt it to fit what you teach.🔑 Key Takeaways:Movement Builds MomentumAdding physical movement into the classroom, even simply moving between seats, helps maintain energy and engagement. The Amazing Race structure naturally lends itself to movement as students discover clues.A Different Take on "Review"Each station in Christine’s race includes different question formats that ask students to interpret labs, prioritize interventions, and identify complications. They also follow the steps of the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model. It is an innovative perspective on practice as a nursing student.Built-In CollaborationBy working in pairs or trios, students talk through their reasoning and help one another with gaps in knowledge. They also practice explaining clinical decisions out loud. This activity allows for natural practice of soft skills like communication and team work.Resources Mentioned:Ready to use this in your own classroom?
