Super Mario Golden Bell (Quiz Game Template)

Super Mario version of the South Korean quiz game "Golden Bell," with both traditional elimination and point-based playstyles.

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.

Play Order (Sound effects are used to indicate the steps)

  2. Students will write their response to the prompt on their whiteboard and then hide their answer
  3. Prompt the students to stop writing and and to show their answers
  4. Reveal the answer to the students
  5. If you are playing the elimination version of this game, any teams/students who answer incorrectly are eliminated
  6. If you are playing the points-based version of this game, teams who answer correctly receive the number of points you have assigned to the question, while those who have answered incorrectly receive zero points.
  7. Students erase their boards and proceed to the next question
  8. If you are playing the elimination version, play until there is only one team/student remaining.
  9. If you are playing the points-based version, play until the final question you prepared. The winner is the team(s) with the most points. If there is a tie, there is a bonus round that is explained in the notes of the PowerPoint file.
