Test Thursday

Hello class! As you continue to study for the upcoming test Thursday, I made a fun matching game that will help you remember some important things that are on the test.

To make it more challenging, I set a time limit of two minutes to match all of the items. Try your best to match as many definitions as you can. If you get three wrong, you’ll have to start over. To start over and try again, just press the play button. Keep trying and see if you can get them all correct!
