WHAT YOU'LL NEED
- For the PP: White boards, markers, and erasers for each group
- For the board game: print out the board and pieces. They are meant to be used on the blackboard with magnets.
DIRECTIONS (PPT ONLY)
- Divide the class into groups.
- Click on a character to play their mini-game.
- Click on the question mark next to each character to go through the directions.
- Have groups work together to do the mini-games.
- Award points to each group for correct answers.
MINI-GAME TYPES
Anya
- Use telepathy: have students use English to write down what the characters might be thinking.
- Give one point for good English and have fun awarding bonus points for funny/creative answers!
- Click the ??? to show an example.
Yor
- Assassinate the English betrayers: have students identify and correct the bad English sentences.
- Award 3 points for "assassinating" the correct person, subtract 3 points for assassinating an innocent person.
- Click the "1st Year," "2nd Year," "3rd Year" tabs to change the grammar difficulty.
- 1st Year -> questions are mostly from Unit 1 and 2 of Blue Sky's 1st year textbook
- 2nd Year -> 1st year review and 2nd year Unit 1 and 2
- 3rd Year -> 2nd year review and 3rd year Unit 1 and 2
- Click the star next to the people to reveal the answers.
Loid
- Perform spy missions: have students race to do a variety of English based tasks.
- Shiritori: with the given word as the start, have groups play shiritori for 1 minute.
- The group with the most words is awarded points.
- Ex. "cat" -> tree, ear, run, name, etc. the first letter of a word must be the last letter of the previous word.
- List: have groups write down as many words belonging to the given category for 45 seconds.
- The group with the most words is awarded points.
- Sentence: have groups write a sentence using the given grammar point.
- The fastest group is awarded points, or every group is awarded points for correct answers and the fastest group gets bonus points.
- Race: have groups race to write a finite group of things, like the ABC's or the months.
- The fastest group is awarded points.
- Shiritori: with the given word as the start, have groups play shiritori for 1 minute.
Bond
- Clairvoyance: have students watch a video and decide if the result will be epic or a fail (think Ellen DeGeneres's Epic or Fail game).
- Award points to the correct groups based on how many groups were correct. (I.e. if all groups are correct, one point. If only one group is correct, 3-5 points.)
BOARD GAME
- Print and cut out the board game elements. (There are stars, lightning bolts, game pieces, and the board itself.)
- Add magnets or bring magnets to pin everything on the blackboard.
- You can put the board together in any way you wish, but I created it with Monopoly in mind.
- See the attached image for a guide.
- Randomly put the stars and lightning bolts on the spaces. When a group lands on that space, they get that item. 3 stars = +5 points, 3 lightning bolts = -5 points.
- Groups answer questions to roll a six-sided die and move their game pieces around the board. When a group lands on a mini-game, all groups stop to play it.
NOTES
- Using the boardgame and the PPT together was a bit hectic. If you are by yourself, I would definitely recommend using only the PPT!
For more Bond game videos:
- Download the "Spy Family - Bond Game Extra Videos" PPT.
- In the extra videos PPT, select the Section name (Bond #) and copy it with CTRL+C.
- In the full game PPT, click under the last Bond game slide, right click, then select the Paste option to Keep Source Formatting.
- Open the Selection Pane (Home->Editing->Select->Selection Pane).
- On the main Bond slide (slide 4), click Round 1 and Round 2 to make them visible.
- If you add all 3 Extra Videos groups, make Round 3 and Round 4 visible too.
- Right click Round 2->Link->Place in this document->choose the main slide of the second group of Bond slides.
- Repeat this for every Round button on every main slide for Bond for smooth access.

This is Perfect!!!
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
WOW! Amazing!
This is probably the best game I've seen on here. Absolutely insane the work you've put into this. 11/10!
1000/10!!! Thank you for sharing!!
This is amazing. I've been using Powerpoint in class for long enough to see just how much work and talent you poured into this. Truly some humbling next level stuff!
Looks great! May I ask which font and in what size you originally made the Powerpoint? I think the formatting in the version I downloaded got all wonky.
@ArianneO A lot of it is Bahnschrift SemiBold Condensed at 48 or 54 size. A few things are probably also in Comic Sans... The sizes and fonts unfortunately vary in each game type.
Got it! I'll just try to edit some of the formatting before using this. Thanks again!
It's like you went into the JET programme handbook and picked up out the best activities, then combined them all into one whole lesson. Ingenius. I modified it to have a spin wheel to select category and group number rather than the board game because it was a bit labour intensive, and works a lot quicker
@floydo That's a good idea! I'm curious what you were doing with the group number? Did you only have one group get points each round?
This is amazing! 100/10.
This is a master piece!!!! Did you just take all the fun stuff and put them here?
@genieg Lol, I'd say it was more of a happy coincidence. If there was a list of fun stuff somewhere I wish I would have seen it! XD
I'm glad everyone's been enjoying it :)
Beyond incredible! How long did it take to make? I really wish my school laptop's powerpoint was in English. I would love to have a crack at something like this in a variety of themes.
@Danakco It took a long time lol. Between planning and making all the mini-game types and the game board, I spent a month or two. Of course I didn't work on it every day! Altogether, around 30 hours? But if you're just changing the theme, it wouldn't take nearly that long. Maybe 2-3? Just from the sheer number of slides and having to choose all new images and colors.
Such incredible work. I have used this in my classes for the last two weeks. Each day I have time, we have played one of the different mini games. It's also been easy for me to edit Loid's game to fit the topic we are learning and the kids love it! Thank you for this.
Otsukaresame! Wow this is amazing! You really must have put in a lot of effort into this and it shows! Thank you for your hard work and for sharing it with us, you're too kind <3
@4sarah1212 if you just use the powerpoint, do you let the ss randomly pick which mini-game they want to play? How does the game play change when you don't use the board?
@hotokeki With just the PPT, I usually do a rotation for the mini-games. I'll start with Anya, do 2, then switch to Loid, do 2, etc. But letting the groups choose randomly would work too! If you do that, I would have the students choose between Anya, Loid, and Yor, and save Bond's mini-game for a reward after they've done a certain amount! (And then do a couple Bond games in a row.)
I only just had a look at this because I've never heard of Spy Family. Just like your other stuff it's fantastic! Looking forward to using it and after reading about Spy Family on Wikipedia I'm going to check it out. Thank you!
This is really amazing! Just a quick question, for the Yor section, did you have each group find and fix all the wrong sentences on the slide? Or just pick one of the wrong sentences and fix it? Thanks :)
@Silverflower18 Find an fix all! I would help them out by telling them how many sentences are wrong though. And I would award points per fixed sentence.
すごい！！！
This is beyond amazing!
I have played this game with JHS 3rd years and ES 5th and 6th grade. For the 6th grade, I changed the Yor and Loid game to phrases from the ES NH textbooks. For the 5th grade, I did the same plus changed the Anya game to where the students have to say a sentence, but it can't be the same kind of sentence as another student (EX: "I like pizza" "I like cake" is not okay.) This game is a lot of fun and very adaptable! Thank you for your hard work :)
This is really impressive work. I'll have to play around with it to get the hang of how to use it, but I really look forward to trying it with my students.
Just used this with my first year JHS students. They really enjoyed it.
Quite possibly the best activity/PPT I've seen in my 12 years teaching in Japan. Thank you so much for sharing.
Alas, this is so big it requires a subscriber account, is there any chance you could upload a google drive link for us poor folk?
I`m speechless. Mad respect for creating this activity. Thank you for saving our lives and giving our students joy.
This is a beautifully-made ppt. So simple and adaptable. Really great job and thank you! Saving this for a later date!
