PowerPoint games materials anyone?

Hello everyone,

Here are some PPt games that can be sued for recap/revision that Liam Wild (Year 1 Cert Ed) passed on. There’s some good stuff in here but you will really need to know the actual TV game if you want to use the resource effectively. Many of them are not that interactive and are more of an interesting accompaniment for questions you ask orally or have on the board. Good for adding a bit of liveliness, perhaps. Brief summary below if you’re interested. These have been passed on to both Yr 1 and 2 Cert Ed/PGCE (DTLLS) groups.

·         20 Questions is quite interactive and lends a little spice as the learners get to choose questions ewithout knowing what answer is ‘behind’ the square. Quite good for random quizzes and recaps or even to establish the level of knowledge of a group. Could be mixed with ‘prizes’ or such behind certain squares.

·         Blockbusters simply allows you to move questions over the squares, making more of a competitive score board than an interactive quiz.

·         Deal or No Deal simply appears to be about choosing boxes. The instructions don’t state this, but it would need to be mixed with some kind of questioning or task to give it any pedagogic value. Perhaps if they don’t get an answer right they lose a box?

·         I don’t know the Jeopardy game so I didn’t get this one. If you know the game I’m sure it’ll help.

·         The millionaire activity is probably the most interactive, allowing you to type in and reveal answers as happens on the popular TV series.

·         Monster hangman is a ‘Sponge Bob’ twist on the old game. Instead of drawing a gallows, you use the PPt to show Sponge Bob getting closer to monsters. If he gets too close, he’s eaten. Aaaaagh!

·         The squares activity is a bit like a fancy ‘noughts and crosses’ and allows you to make notes in the presentation, thereby keeping score. You can also write Q&A in this one.

·         The Weakest link is another scoreboard-type presentation that allows you to write the scores in the presentation with the added excitement of the graphics, albeit ones that are a little tricky to get the hang of at first. Verbal Q&A for this one.

·         Wheel of Fortune is a spinner game that can be done a little more interactively with an IWB but if you don’t have one, it works quite nicely as a starter/review task.

Game on!
