Game Project

One advantage of games is that they introduce a social element to learning, They also use young people's natural competitive nature to drive learning. In this example, I created a simple game based on the television show, the $10,000 pyramid. This is a simple game that is somewhat like Jeopardy, but with a twist. Students have to guess the category based on given answers. This is a game that can be created on the computer but it's simple enough to be created with cardboard and markers. The best thing is, students enjoy it and it works great as a review mechanism. Students can play either as individuals or in teams.
