Eye Guess

Eye Guess Game Rules:

Activity for 3rd-5th Grade Students

•Divide the class into two teams.  You can appoint team captains to answer for each team or let everyone take turns answering.  Determine which team will go first.  Pull up Slide 1 of the PowerPoint and put it in Presentation mode.

•There are nine answers hidden on the game board.  To start the game, the teacher reveals the answers behind numbers 1-8 only.  Leave the Eye Guess box in the center concealed.  The answers are revealed by clicking on each number.  The box will spin around revealing the answer.  Give the class 10 seconds to memorize the answers on the board.  Then quickly click the boxes to return them to the number positions.

•The questions are on Slide 4.  You may want to print these out for easy reference so you can leave Slide 1 up for the entire game.  The teacher asks the first question and the first team in control calls out one of the boxes numbered 1-8 to find the correct answer.  The teacher clicks the number to reveal the answer.  If the team answers correctly, they score 10 points.  The teacher clicks the box to return it to the number position regardless of whether the question is answered correctly or not.  Always leave the boxes in the number position.  If the team answers correctly, they keep control of the board and the teacher asks another question.  If the team answers incorrectly, control passes to the other team.  Game play continues in the same manner.

•Eye Guess Box:  This box is worth double points.  The answer to one of the nine questions is hidden behind the Eye Guess box at the center of the board.  This is the box that the students have not yet seen.  If the team decides that the answer to a question is an answer they have not seen on the board, they can call out “Eye Guess” to see if that box conceals the answer.  If the answer is correct, the teacher clicks the Eye Guess box to reveal the answer.  If the answer is incorrect, the box remains closed and the teacher simply says “No, that is not the correct box.”  If a team correctly guesses the Eye Guess box answer, they score 20 points.

•After all nine questions have been asked, the teacher goes back and asks only the questions that have not yet been answered correctly.  The game play continues until all nine answers have been guessed.  The team with the most points wins the game.
