About
Golden Bell is a popular elimination-style quiz game in South Korea. In order to involve all students throughout the duration of the game, I included the option of assigning point values to questions based on their difficulty. This review games mainly focuses on writing, but includes elements of listening, reading, and speaking. It is useful for reviewing nearly any grammar or learning point.
