The case for motivating students through cooperative learning has been made and supported throughout the last two decades. Two well-known cooperative learning techniques—Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) and Teams-Games-Tournament (TGT)—are featured in this article. Components of both STAD and TGT are combined into a technique that allows students to socialize, compete, and achieve in the classroom. Physics students are randomly assigned to teams and compete against each other. Students respond favorably to this activity, looking forward to the "games" they play against other teams and anxiously awaiting their adjusted position on the class "scoreboard." This unique method of motivating students is recommended at any level.
