The clap game is also called the key word game.
Show the slide with the white shapes and introduce the shape words. The final shape is ice cream. Ice cream is in the book for some reason and it also gets a laugh.
Click on one shape to make it glow. That is the keyword. Then do the clap game. The ALT claps twice and says a word, the students then clap twice and repeat the word. But if the ALT claps twice and says the keyword the students shouldn't clap. Instead they grab their eraser, or touch their head, or do whatever the challenge is. They can do this in pairs to make it more competitive although for such young students I usually have them play against the HRT, see if they can grab and raise their pencil case before the teacher does.
If you clip the object again the glow vanishes and you can pick another.
After doing the first screen a few times move onto the the level up. This introduces shape plus color but is otherwise the same. There is a third screen with different colored objects.
I love this powerpoint and activity a lot. Very well made and a super amazing powerpoint.
Just commenting to say that "Note the diamond is a bit rougher looking than the others because windows doesn't have a diamond shape so I had to put two triangles together." send me into stitches. Would making a square and rotating it 45 degrees not work the same?
That's what I tried at first but it didn't look right to me. Probably because I was just eyeballing it at the time and not measuring the square exactly so it's not an even square. Fixed it up. Just took a few minutes.
Nice game, though for me cuurently the first round isnt shown and in later rounds square and rectangle cant be highlighted,
That is weird, I just tried it too and I couldn’t get to the first round either. Square and rectangle worked fine for me in the later rounds. I’ll upload it again from my folder at work tomorrow.
Okay. The first round was hidden somehow. I think it will work now. As for the shapes not highlighting. I’m not sure why that happened. They work fine for me and I took a look at the animation panel and the animations for the square and triangle are definitely there.
