Powerpoint Clue/Cluedo

[zorq]

     I put together this lesson and did it with one of my summer camps. It worked alright, but it was much more tedious than I hoped. This lesson seems to take more than 2 hours.

This is a lesson to play the board game Clue/Cluedo with the whole class.

I have an explanation ppt, "explanitory Cludo.ppt" that explains the vocab and how to play the game.
I have a couple game boards because the first attempt at making a game board was so over loaded that it only works on fast computers. with this one you click on the space where you want a piece to move to and it changes colors. I'm uploading the office 2010 version of this one. "Clue Murder Mystery4dice.pptm"

The second game board uses a macro to move the pieces. You click on a piece then click where you want it to move to. I find that it doesn't work with interactive white boards very well, but it has much smaller system requirements than the other game board. This one is named "moveable pieces cludo.ppt"

I also included some game cards that I edited with photoshop then printed out for using in class.
I also have some game pads that include all the rooms weapons and suspects that I wanted to use.  (I like poison and I don't like lead piping/lead pipe)

Also you will find some game pads to help the students to eliminate suspects.

Finally I made a backing pattern to glue to the back of my cards to make them a little more anonymous.

I find that my powerpoints have big differences in success depending on the computer and version of Powerpoint that I use. You may need to turn macro security to low to play these games properly.

I'll try to answer any questions you may have.

This looks incredible, and must have taken a lot of effort, thanks!  My conversation class students have been haranguing me about playing Clue, so I will give this a shot tomorrow.

This game looks really interesting and your powerpoint looks awesome. I just have a few questions that I would like to ask you. Do I just need one copy of all the cards or do I need to make several copies? Also, after I choose a suspect, room, and a weapon to put in an envelope do I just randomly pass out all the cards or does each team  need a certain number of random weapon, suspect, and room cards. Finally, when actually playing the game how long does it take to finish?

If you play with the whole class, you only need one set of cards.
After you put one suspect, weapon, and room card in the envelope, you just pass out the rest of the cards randomly to the teams. If you play with fewer than 6 teams,  Make sure the teams with fewer  cards go first.
Playing this game takes much longer than I thought it would. It can take up to two hours or more after explaining the rules and vocab and things.
