| Details |
Using the template provided, create an original PowerPoint game that teaches an objective from your subject/grade level. You must include all components of the template: Story, Game Directions, Game Preparation, Game Pieces, Game Questions, Objectives, Copyright, and Credit slides.
You must include a minimum of 25 questions in your game. (If your game does not use questions, please see me to make sure you are meeting requirements in another format).
Your game must be original and creative. It cannot be based on another game template or an existing game (i.e., Monopoly, Jeopardy, etc.). Your game must do more than just review simple arithmetic skills or spelling words. Your game should contain challenges for students that would require them to think beyond basic memorization and recall of facts. Most importantly, your game should be interesting enough to students so that they will master specific learning objectives during the playing of your game. |
