THE GAME SHOW CATEGORIES ARE:

  • ACT IT OUT: teams act out / role play the challenge prompt.

  • SKETCH IT: teams quickly draw their answers.
  • IMAGINE IF: teams answer “Imagine If” questions, using their imagination & problem solving skills.

  • Small group counseling
  • Distance Learning classes

  • School Counseling guidance lessons

Given that the GAME SHOW takes 40-60 minutes to play, and sometimes we just don’t have that much time….or that After the Fall lesson works best projected on a large screen, and sometimes the technology breaks down….or that there are days when we walk into the classroom and just know that a whole classroom game is not going to fly that day….and sometimes students need more quiet, reflective activities……I have included more than 6 additional formats that do not require the use of the internet.

 

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PLAY THE GAME SHOW?

  • If you can, use the Google Slides After the Fall Lesson or PowerPoint game on a Promethean White Board or projector
  • If using for distance learning, all players need internet access.
  • Want to go screen-free? No problem! This Game Show also comes with printable task cards with the same prompts as the Game Show challenges.

I used this with third graders during a classroom lesson about growth mindset after reading this picture book. The kids loved all of the different pieces of this game and were actively engaged and participating the entire time.

I read the book to my students and the next lesson we played the game. They loved it! I added game show music and some animation to make it seem like a real game show.

My students loved using this resource in group! The game part/competition part of it made them listen closer to the story, focus on the questions being asked, and give really thoughtful responses. I love all of this seller’s resources. Never regretted a purchase!
