...This sounds like a great game! I will try it out!<br /><br />Piggybacking: I played Jeopardy recently with my kids. I had two methods to have everyone participate:<br />One was having only 1 whiteboard per team, and they took turns for who had to write the final answer on the whiteboard when the time was up. <br />I also rolled 2 dice under my docu-cam, and the top die determined how many hundred points that question was worth, while the bottom die was the number of bonus hundred points if everyone (yes, everyone) on the team used scratch paper to do their work. I walked around and monitored, and did not award the bonus points if even one kid on the team didn't do this part. Kids start to regulate each other after that happens the first time :) I found this to be more successful than the rotating whiteboard method I mentioned above.Chelseanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116565541274403298.post-61087451338942769622018-07-24T05:15:00.092-04:002018-07-24T05:15:00.092-04:00God of War is a true revolution to the franchise. ...God of War is a true revolution to the franchise.

Thank you for the detailed post about how to play!<br /><br />I wanted to provide another solution to the issue of piggy-backing but I haven't read all the comments so I am uncertain if I am repeating someone. I have every student in the group have a mini-whiteboard, dry erase marker, and eraser. The only way a group can win the question is if every member of the group shows all the work and the correct answer on their mini-whiteboard. If anyone in the group gets it wrong or has an insufficient whiteboard of work, the first group to have all their mini-whiteboards in the air with the correct work and solution gets to steal the question. That way every student has to do out all the work. This would not prevent a student from copying another but you will have that issue whenever you pair/group students up. And at least this way they are going through the motions and following along so that the process for how to solve the problem begins to sink in a bit.<br /><br />Again, thanks for a fun, engaging practice activity!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116565541274403298.post-5746811232601485192016-11-14T19:38:37.659-05:002016-11-14T19:38:37.659-05:00Oh I am so late seeing this.

We call it Pick A Number, and I used PPT to make a grid-style game board with a number in each square. The kids are in teams, and I go around the room asking questions. If the team member called on gets it right, their team picks a number on the grid. I hyperlinked the numbers to slides, and when I click on it they find out what they've "won". Sometimes they earn points, sometimes they get to give points to other teams, sometimes they get to take points from other teams, and (their favorite!) sometimes they have to do ridiculous things for points. Examples would be going in the hall and doing the chicken dance in the hallway, or going next door and group hugging my teacher neighbor. I also like to hide things like "any team in possession of a library book earns 2 points" or any team with at least one girl earns 2 points. This is HANDS DOWN their favorite review game.

I make each question worth 5 points (the kids like having bigger scores, plus it helps them practice bigger numbers as they say their scores, talk about who is in the lead, etc).<br /><br />I do have a variation that really helps the students stay engaged even when it isn't officially their turn. Each group has a whiteboard on which they write their own answer to the question asked. Once the answer is given by the group whose turn it is and the correct answer revealed, they hold up their own answers. Each group that had the correct answer written receives a point. This way, even when it isn't your turn you can still help your team.ProfeSpain8https://www.blogger.com/profile/01058601851359107761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116565541274403298.post-58061870654187917562014-06-29T02:11:38.843-04:002014-06-29T02:11:38.843-04:00I make it a toss-up question.

If the team that "owns" that question gets it wrong I offer the question as a toss-up question and I call on individual students. The individual called on must know the answer - if they ask their team members after the toss-up is announced, that team is disqualified from answering that question. I also tell students that I will call on one person from a team that is silent - and the more people on the team who know the answer, the more likely it is that someone on their team will be called. Since they can't discuss it once it's a toss-up, they have an incentive to discuss every question when it's asked. Since questions become toss-up questions, they have an incentive to stay engaged with each question.

If team 2 "steals" the question because team 1 couldn't answer, I let team 2 have another turn. This gave them a slight advantage for having the answer to a tough question. My kids are super competitive though, so they freak out if they think I "skipped" their turn. <br />Great game though, they loved it!
