Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

[yvette.ludick]

Oh hi everyone,

I have a couple of English practical lessons a week and as I was contemplating what to do with the 5th and 6th graders, I just suddenly remembered "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?", can anyone remember that show? I loved it! I can remember the basic idea, but I cannot remember what types of questions they asked.

Is there anybody out there that can help me flesh out the idea to make it a playable game?

Great idea!  I found these sample questions that you could use to help structure your own questions:  http://www.savetherobot.com/samples/carmen.html

I think these would be too difficult for English language learners, but you can always make easier questions.

I've been working on one and I think it's pretty good.  I haven't used it with the kids and want to work out any potential problems before using it but check it out and see if you like it.  I combined the FB version along with the 90's game show.

I made a game template for it at the start of the year, click the picture in my signature for the link.
