Create and show a word cloud with the review words. Use a word cloud
generator tool like https://www.wordclouds.com/, or use the one provided:

Say a word in the word cloud and have the first pupil in each row (one from
each team) come to the board and point to the word as quickly as possible.
The faster team receives a point.
Repeat to practice all the words and so all pupils have a chance to play.
