Powerpoint Games
I can’t believe I’ve forgotten to mention something that I’ve been using forever (when I have access to our school’s 1 and only projector). Tonight I was busy making up a Jeopardy game to review my health unit on Chronic Illness and it dawned on me that I had yet to share this wonderful tool.
There are many templates out there now for various games – Jeopardy, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Hollywood Squares, just to name a few. The templates are great because all you have to do in input the information. Pretty easy but don’t forget to check it over before you show it to the kids… imagine the uproar if something happens to make the game, heaven forbid, “unfair”! (I hate that word, can’t you tell?)
Anyways, here are a few sites with templates but it is not by any means exhaustive!

Finally, don’t forget to share! I know I could always benefit from someone else’s time well spent! Here’s a Jeopardy game you can have that I created to review some basic grammar .
First day back tomorrow, it’s going to be a long one!
