How to Use Boddle as a Standards-Aligned Review Game

Testing season can feel overwhelming for everyone, but Boddle helps you turn review into something students actually look forward to. It is also aligned to the standards they’ll see on assessments like MAP Growth, NWEA, STAAR, i-Ready, or district benchmarks.

Here’s how to use Boddle’s built-in tools to turn your test prep into a fun, purposeful game plan.

1. Identify the Standards Your Test Covers

Start by finding which standards are being assessed on your upcoming test. Most state or district tests, like end-of-quarter assessments, progress reports, or summative exams, are based on grade-level standards.

Once you have those topics in hand, you can use Boddle’s Assignments feature to target the exact same skills. This ensures students get extra practice on the standards they’ll encounter during testing.

2. Create Standards-Based Assignments in Boddle

In your Teacher Dashboard, go to Assignments → Create Assignment. From there, browse by topic or use the standards filter to match the same standards tested on your assessments. 

Pro tip: You can schedule assignments ahead of time, so your students see new review games automatically each day leading up to testing week.

3. Use Reports to Target Support and Enrichment

After your students play, head to the Reports tab to see how they performed on each standard. You’ll instantly see which areas are solid and which might need a little more review.

If you notice certain skills, like fractions or context clues, still need practice, assign quick follow-up assignments to reinforce them. Meanwhile, students who have mastered the skill can move ahead to enrichment levels.

4. Keep Test Prep Lighthearted (and Effective)

The best part about using Boddle for test review is that students hardly realize they’re prepping. They’re immersed in gameplay: collecting rewards, leveling up pets, and exploring while practicing real, standards-based questions.

That means less anxiety, more confidence, and better retention when it’s time for MAP, STAAR, or quarterly tests.

Bonus: Easy Ideas for Test Review Week

Want to make the most of your review time? Try these classroom-tested ideas teachers love:

• Boddle Review Rotations: Set up small groups with different standards-focused Assignments and rotate every 15–20 minutes.
• Daily Skill Challenge: Post a new Assignment each morning focused on one test domain (like place value or main idea).
• At-Home Practice Game: Encourage families to let students play at home for 10-15 minutes a night during testing week.
• Boddle Battle Challenge: Have classes compete to reach a shared goal, like completing 500 questions by Friday.
  

Each of these keeps practice structured but low-stress, helping students feel confident and prepared for whatever test day brings.
