🗨️ Game of Quotes
The goal of Game of Quotes is to get students excited about reading. This EduProtocol is an adaptation of Gamewright's Bring Your Own Book game. The game begins with a 10-minute independent reading period. Next, a prompt from the slide show to the right is displayed on the classroom big screen. Students search through the text in their book to find the “best” response to the prompt. Example: the prompt is A line from a horoscope. I scour through the book that I read during the reading period (EduProtocols Field Guide Book 2), and respond with “Participants just kept guessing for days, since they did not know if they were right or wrong” from page 127. I share my response with my group & we vote on a table winner-whomever found the best response to the prompt in the text that they read. Table winners are then shared with the whole class to choose a class winner.
Adaptation: Use this slide deck to create a scavenger hunt in other subject areas
🏁 Great American Race 🏎️
Great American Race Template
In this gamified EduProtocol, students first create clues to get their classmates to correctly guess the term that they've been assigned. The entire class edits a single slide deck to create the game. Example: The game topic is Asian Landmarks & I've been assigned #13 Atomic Bomb Dome. My task is to create 5 clues that will help my classmates guess that the Asian Landmark on slide #13 is the Atomic Bomb Dome in Japan. After students are given 10-15 minutes to build their assigned slide in the shared Great American Race deck, students use a Google Form like the one to the left to submit their answers.
Great American Race Prep Work:
Decide on the content to be covered, preferably a topic with more than 20 terms: Vocabulary words, periodic table elements, US states, types of rocks...
Create an answer key for the numbered Great American Race slide deck. In the example above, all 25 Asian landmarks were written on 3x5 cards along with a number (# indicates which slide students will type clues on).
Create a Google Form like the one to the left with all 25 Asian landmarks listed in a different order than the answer key. Share the Google Form only after the clues slide deck has been created.
