What’s needed to play the Game Show?

✔ If using in person, it is best used with a Promethean White Board or projector that that can be hooked up to your computer; it’s formatted as a PowerPoint presentation and now Google slides™, too!

✔If using for distance learning, all players need internet access. Then you can share your screen!

✔ 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.

Provides lots of flexibility…

Given that the GAME SHOW takes 40-60 minutes to play, and sometimes we just don’t have that much time….or that the GAME SHOW works best projected on a original 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 computer (Note: the additional activities do involve some printing prep work).
