Been learning how to do things with powerpoint and just recently learned how to make my own version of those kind of games where students choose numbers and it leading to specific screens before going back to the start and saving the progress. So, this is my first upload! Critique is welcomed
I noticed that with most games, there's usually always one or two students in a group who solve the answers or help the student whose turn it is to solve it. So, I decided to first have them do a worksheet in groups of four where each student will have four prompts that they must turn into the key sentence from Unit 6. "I wish........"
After that, there is a game.
-The scenario is that they are exploring the Cave of Wonders from Aladdin. In each passageway, there is a room with a lamp in the distance.
-It will either be a good lamp or a bad lamp. Some wishes will have good AND bad, some will both be bad. (ie. "I wish I had a boyfriend" has a good and bad version. "I wish I had a girlfriend" has two bad versions only [this is to trick the male students into thinking that maybe the second one will be a good one and choose to keep it only for it to be bad haha])
-A prompt will pop up and the group gives their answer to the prompt together.
-Then, they can choose if they want to keep the wish or give it to another group. (However, the same group can't be chosen twice in a row [ie. group 1 gives the wish to group 6, then group 2 also gives the wish to group 6]). If another group is chosen, they will also say the wish together
-The boyfriend/girlfriend wish will be a special one. I will have the girls or boys on the left hand and the girls or boys on the right hand choose if they want to keep or give it to the other side
-How to proceed through the slides-
-Click a number
-click for the person and sentence prompt to pop up
-click on the lamp silhouette/swirl to go to the genie screen
-the genie should pop up automatically
-click until the wish is granted and the "To Be Continued" sign pops up automatically
-click the home button to return to the numbers slide
I have triple checked and there shouldn't be any problems but let me know if there are. Also, the first screen was just something random I decided to do. I don't know why I put Pingu
Also, the worksheet is designed to be printed 4 pages on one sheet of A4 paper to be cut (to save paper and the students find it cute to have mini worksheets)
NOTE: I'm not sure if this could also be done with each group having their own computer to use as I use powerpoint and my students have chromebooks. If the powerpoint works just fine as a google slide, then that's awesome and it would definitely be more fun if it's played in each group so more students get a chance to answer and keep or give wishes
Edit: I added a To Be Continued button in the wishes in case there is confusion if anything else happens
Edit 2: My JTE suggested I should incorporate a points system so if you'd like to use them too, I have a slide with points and rules. Adjust the points to your liking but I figured there should be some ups and downs to keeping or giving (ie. if you keep a good wish you get 2, but if you give a good wish to try and mess with another team, they get THREE points instead of the normal 2)
This is really cool, can't wait to use it in class, the Pingu adds an essential flare of randomness! I rate it
This is the pinnacle of awsomeness. Thank you!
I'll be using this in my next class!
This looks amazing! I’ll be using this in my next class.
Thanks for this! I'll use it for my class nextweek!
I just played this with my class! They loved the animations and pingu.
It was also super nice that everyone had a different worksheet so it wasn't the same student speaking.
