The "Definition" Challenge: Instead of calling out the word "FAFSA," call out: "The application you must fill out to see if you qualify for federal grants or loans." It forces the students to actually know what the terms mean to win!
Call to Action: Instead of just saying "FAFSA," give a one-sentence definition (e.g., "The form you fill out to get free money for college!") and have the students find the term on their board.
Dual Enrollment: Taking a class that counts for both High School and College credit.
