7. Index How to setup: This game takes no time to prepare! Just gather questions you want to review with the kids, a worksheet they worked on or questions in your head and go. How to play the game: Divide your class into two groups and designate each team a name. Whoever gets the questions right, click on that team’s white bar below their name and it will go to their “booster slide”. If the question isn’t answered correctly, click on wrong for a boo and an animation. Click on “Next Play” to go back to the score board. When the scoreboard comes back up, the three points will be listed. Practice this once before class just so you know how the scores work and where to click.

8. Index How to setup: Under the outline tab to the left, you will find a phrase written on “Slide 2.” Highlight the text the slide in the outline and replace it with a phrase from your content area. If you press enter, it updates the slide. Hold Shift and Enter to put a return in your phrase. Make sure to preview the game yourself to know what it looks like. So that the students do not see the answers shown on the “Outline” tab, make sure to click on the “Slides” tab before you show your screen to your students. There are 10 boards in this file. How the game works: Students answer a question given by the teacher to win try. Once they answer correctly, can pick a square to be removed. Teacher clicks on the square; it disappears allowing part of the solution to be seen. They can guess what it says, only on their turn. To get to the next puzzle, click the next puzzle link at the bottom of the screen.

9. Index How to setup: Use the “Outline” tab to fill in your questions. Questions can be multiple choice or true/false. If you need to make more questions, you can just copy and paste the existing question slides and edit your hyperlinks. The blue arrow buttons will take you to the next question if the answer was correct or back to the question if the answer was incorrect. How to play the game: When the question slide comes up it will bring up the questions and answer choices. Click on the answer students choose. If the answer is incorrect, the slide will explain why the answer was incorrect. You can then click on the blue back arrow to go back to the question. If the answer is correct, the slide will explain why the answer is correct. Next, you click on the blue forward arrow to go to the next question.

10. Index How to setup: You can play Hollywood Squares however it works best for your class. When you enter your questions you can decide how you want it setup. Real Hollywood Squares: Enter only one answer. The questions are then more or less true or false. The students or teams then decide if they agree or disagree. If they are correct they get the square. If they are wrong, their opponent gets the square. Hollywood Squares: board game version: When writing the choices, use all the answers. One team will read the question and choose an answer. They can bluff with a wrong answer or use a correct answer. The other team then has to agree or disagree. If they are correct, they get the square; if not, the other team gets the square. No bluff version: Play as a multiple choice game. Let the team pick the correct choice from three multiple choice answers, or don’t put answers up at all and let them give you the answer. Correct answer gets the square. Incorrect answer gives the square to the other team. The easiest way to edit questions is to open the “Outline” view. At the bottom left hand corner of the screen choose the “Normal” view which gives you a three section window, then choose the “Outline” option for the panel on the left. You can then double click on Question and Choice 1, then just type your information in there. How to play the game: Have the students pick a star from “Slide 2”. Click on the star’s picture. Go to the page and do the question. At the top click on the left box if the X teams wins the square, the right box if the O team wins the square. This will bring you to the letter page. Just click on the letter. Then, go back and click on the left or right box of that star to show who won the box.

When you’ve given the appropriate points, click “Back to the board” to choose another question. The question you were just on should be gone now. With a correct answer, a point is given and they have a chance at the bonus. Click on challenge to give them the bonus question. If they get the question wrong, click on question and it’ll skip to the next question. Teams: You could have teams write down the answers so everyone gets to answer all the questions. Then those who got the question wrong would put their white boards down while the other teams can answer the challenges.

12. Index How to setup: On “Slide 2”, there are both white boxes and blue boxes. Don’t touch the blue boxes in setup. Delete the boxes that are already up in the play space.

If you click on yes, the answer will be revealed. If you click on no, it will laugh. Lifelines: There are three lifelines: phone a friend, poll the audience, and 50/50. Depending how you have your game setup with your students you can play these different ways. If you click on the icon for one of these three it will take you to a new slide.

Ask a question and if they get it correct, drag the team’s character to the starting line and move that many spaces. There are two animals, so when you move the animal one will be left behind as well. Ideas: If a team gets an answer wrong, the team whose space they would have landed on (or are on) get to answer the question and steal the move if they get it right.
