The focus of a teacher inservice seminar this morning was games in the classroom. The presenter gave us this link (http://\"http://jc-schools.net/tutorials/PPT-games/\") to multiple formats, including Hollywood Squares, Concentration, and The Weakest Link. They're nowhere near as flashy as Particleman's Feud or some other PowerPoints out there. I thought some people might be interested in these renditions.

I put together "Family Feud", "Match Game" and "Scrabble" PowerPoint presentations that I use as icebreakers and/or 'bring everyone back together' activities. I don't have any webspace to host them on, but if anyone wants them, email me and I'd be happy to zip them up and send them on.
If you're a teacher or a trainer that works with adults, people LOVE them and it's a great way to re-engage a group after a break or after lunch. They were developed in PowerPoint 2002 and should be backward compatible with PowerPoint 97 and above.
They're not super fancy, but I got a little nerdy with them. The "Match Game" one actually turned out quite nicely. I did the whole opening sequence and set the timings to reveal the celebs in time with the sound clip. I even did polls around the office to get my Super Match choices. I have to admit that it was fun to be able to integrate game shows into my job! :)

Hmm...I could actually use one of these for review in my classes...

In my honours specialist class this summer, my partner and I presented a strategy entitled "game shows in the classroom" - it was a big hit and we've been asked to present at a conference.
