This is absolutely amazing!!

And to the previous poster... The bomb game is a simple question and then answer game that students play and compete against each other in groups. The main play screen usually contains a grid of letters and numbers that the groups can choose freely from. The "bomb" part is where a group can lose some/all points if they encounter a bomb icon/picture while playing the game.

I am very new to teaching and to Korea. Is there somewhere that explains the rules and how "the bomb game" is played?
Thank you.

This is partly explained on one of the slides inside.

To prepare, edit the blank rectangles to add in questions. It's ideal for review questions from previous lessons or the lesson just taught. I also like to add in some grammar questions, idioms, culture questions (how to make English tea), tasks for them to do (tell me about your future dream and how you'll achieve it) and random ones too (which languages has the teacher studied - which they usually guess correctly strangely), to keep things interesting. The number of coins after the slide are the points.

Divide the students into groups. Have each group choose a letter. It takes you to the question. Have students from that group answer. The trick I use is giving them each a laminated card. They have to pay with the card to answer. It gets them to help their teammates and stops only 2-4 students from each team answering.

Bombs (or monsters/enemies) make the team that finds them lose all their points. Items (flower & shell) let them attack 1 other team to lose x amount of points. The Star makes them invincible against attack for 2 rounds.

This can last a whole 45 minute lesson for me or be done in the remaining 10-15 minutes if needed.

For me the sounds don't play, unless I click the icon. Is it supposed to do it automatically?

With the "correct" and "wrong" animations, you have to click on the "check" and "x" icons to make the animation play. I had to do this so the animation can be replayed again and again as the game continues. I am not sure but I think Powerpoint has a limitation where animations/sounds can only automatically occur once.

For me the sounds don't play, unless I click the icon. Is it supposed to do it automatically?

If anyone else has the same problem, there's a modified version of this template with questions added that is posted here:

I saw this actual game once and I know if a question is answered wrong another person gets a chance, but has to start from the begining. What I think I'll do is play with the whole class, so anyone can answer. If they get it right they move up a value, but if they get it wrong, the whole class has to start over from 100. They will know the answers already, but since its review and speaking practice I don't see the harm in repeating the answers if you get everyone to say the correct answer. Then when they get to a new question you can advance if they get it right, start over if they get it wrong. Just my take on it.

I use this in my before and after school classes where the numbers range from 4 to 10 students.  Even with 10, they are happy to take turns with the rest helping - or not - from the sidelines.  They love misleading the person in the chair.  I keep it pretty loose - they will talk throughout the game and call out from the 'audience' but it keeps them all invested in winning.

If you open this with PPT2003 then you can't edit the question/answers.  They are saved as a picture and come up as such in 2003.

So - for 2007 users only!

Awesome final battle.
