Adding my thanks for this! I took out the SHINee surprises, but am putting them back in since it was a whitewash win in 2 of my 3rd Grade classes.

The only problem was the kids asking for hints (I know nothing about K-Pop!)

I can't get the video files to work. I placed the main folder (K-pop Slam) on my desktop. There is a subfolder called Fantastic Elastic. The mp3 files work but the wmv files don't! I need help. How can I fix it??

This is amazing. Thank you so much. I've been using it all week at my girls' high school and it's by far the most exciting lesson they have ever seen. 감사합니다! 고맙습니다! 사랑해요! Umm, what?...

To everyone who is worried that you need to show the videos, don't be. There's a reason there is a rule about waiting for the teacher to finish speaking!

So finals are around and the semester will conclude soon. Your coteacher doesn't feel like teaching and you have no material. Use this K-pop slam game, its similar to Name that Tune but K-Pop Slam was devised by the user shawol and his post is: http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,15003.0.html.
It contains videos where you can play a variety of ways with your students. I did my own version where the "No video" section contains different songs and is similar to playing name that tune.
Make sure to read the attached document it contains the answer key and lyrics. The file was too large for waygook.org to accept so you can download it here:

Wait for the "Regular download" to appear after the timer under Premium download

If the link doesn't work PM me for help or questions.

Hey everyone!

This looks like a great lesson and I really want to use it for my summer camp, but I get no sound when I download any of the files that have been posted here.

I see some other people had some problems too - did anyone find a solution?

I'm using Gome Player (I think that's what it's called), as my media player - I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Okay, everyone listen up. This is the opening poster here.

For all of you who managed to download the folder, there is something very important you should know.

DO NOT PUT MY FOLDER INSIDE ANOTHER FOLDER. IF YOU DO THIS, THE VIDEOS/AUDIO WILL NOT WORK.

It's because the videos and audio are linked and not embedded to the powerpoint. If you try to put my folder within another folder, you end up changing the address of each individual file that's linked to the powerpoint.

What you should do is drag my folder onto your desktop and play the powerpoint from there.

Hope that helps.

Heya! This is awesome, and goes perfectly with my music-themed summer camp! Both the PPT and media and vid folder are on my desktop, yet I when i play the PPT it seems like its not embedded- Idon't get any vid or audio, just the still images. Suggestions?

Thanks a mil!!!

This powerpoint is amazing! I love K-Pop but I actually don't know some of these songs. I'm gonna try it out during my summer camp. Hope it goes well.

Thanks for posting this!

Thank you, thank you soooooo much my middle school girls absolutely loved this game. You have done a wonderful job with this. Thank you soo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This looks like a really fun lesson and I want to try it at my all-girls middle school, but I can't figure out how to get the audio/video or whatever to play. I didn't move anything around, I just dragged the entire folder to my desktop like the OP said. When I try to play the songs, it just says "codec unavailable" by the play button. I feel dumb because I read through everything and did just what the OP said with the files but maybe I still missed something somehow...

Does anyone know how I can fix this? It just looks so well made that I feel I MUST use it, ha.

You are amazing!

Thank you so much for making this. My middle school girls love this, especially the Shinee Surprises.

happygolucky · « **Reply #90 on:** July 11, 2011, 09:09:09 am »

This is great! I had trouble keeping the volume down in my class!!

This looks amazing! Thank you so much for all the hard work. Hopefully my high schoolers will go nuts over this.

There's one file that won't copy out of the zip folder no matter how much I mess with it (the TVXQ video) but since my students are more into Shinee and Beast anyway, so I don't think it'll be a problem. ^^

I spent Sunday night trying to revise K-pop and all the artists in the game and I watched the videos, hoping to learn enough to pull this game off
without appearing to be a proper clueless sado.
Total fail it was still painfully obvious to the students that I had no idea what I was going on about, especially when they saw the answer sheet that I
sneakily stuck to the inside of my hand!

I felt like Ian Hislop from "have I got news for you"

Students thought it was great, This is a really good game, can't thank you enough, great last week banger.

Also this is the only PPT I have ever downloaded that I used straight out of the box, didn't need to change a thing.

Sank u berry much-ee

This went down swimmingly with my kids last week; after a few tweeks, it was perfect. Thanks for all the hard work!

Wow, this ppt is the bomb.com - I envy your mad ppt skills and feel bad for my students because clearly they are getting the shaft!

Anyways - question about some logistics.

Do you just let it be a free-for-all for answering the questions? As in, whoever raises their fan first gets to answer? Or do you pick a designated team to answer the question - like Jeopardy? I'm wondering what works best. I'm thinking that some girls will be know it alls and hog the questions from the rest of the class.

Thanks for anyone who has advice !

mojussa · « **Reply #95 on:** July 12, 2011, 10:04:20 am »

@leshotpants, What I do is I divide my class between 6-8 groups. If 8 groups then I let groups 1-4 battle for the winner and 5-8 battle for the winner in rock, paper, scissors. Then the remainder 2 groups will battle say group 2 and group 5 and then the winning group will start. I go by group numerical order so each group has a chance to speak. I don't show the videos at all until a group guesses it correctly or until all groups had a chance to answer.
If all groups had a chance to answer 1x and it is back to for example group 5 who chose the question then group 5 has 1 more chance to answer. After that I say I will play the video until someone from any team raises their hand and have my coteacher help to see which team was first to raise it. Then then its back to numerical order so following team 5 is team 6 Hope this helps its a bit wordy.

Thank you. This is an amazing lesson for my kids who I am sure will love it!

I made a running dictation game also based on K pop. It has students practice reading, writing, listening and speaking while they match up the jumbled English lyrics and match them to the Korean singer or group. I plan to spend twenty minutes roughly on the wonderful k pop slam game, then the remaining 20 minutes on this running dictation game.

It's quite easy and would work well for elementary and the lower grades of middle school. You can easily adapt it for higher-level students.

If anybody finds the lyric "shut up boy" inappropriate, I suggest editing it to "be quiet boy!!!" and letting the students guess, or you could just remove it altogether.
