I'm sure many of you have used the excellent Billboard Chart game (http://www.waygook.org/index.php/topic,35776.msg240977.html#msg240977) that was put on here a year or so ago, I know I have. Anyway as it has been so popular with my students I made a new version. I have only added 10 songs as I use it for 1 50minute class. Also I found that my students never needed the lyric videos so I have done away with those.

I run my class by giving teams of 4-5 a whiteboard which they can write the words on, then at the end of the song I ask them what each blank word is. The first correct team gets the point (1 point for 1 word), obviously if one team is pulling a head by too much I rig the game and start choosing other teams to keep the points even.

The first game included handouts, I seldom use handouts and I never needed them for this game so there are none included. It would be easy enough to make some if you need them.

Hi, I tried to attach the PPT here for you but the file is too big. I tested the google drive link, whilst logged out of my google account, and it downloaded just fine (you can't see the preview but if you look at the bottom right of your screen you'll still see the download button).

Has anyone else had this problem?

Awesome stuff guys!

An idea:
 I used the first version of the Billboard in one of my elementary camps last year. Since some of the students are really low-level, I made an alphabetical list of all of the fill-in-the-blank words from all of the songs and gave the students a 25 square Bingo board.

Before they listened to any of the songs, I had the students choose any 25 words from the list and write them on their boards. I then played the songs in random order. The students crossed words off their boards as the words showed up in the songs. The first student to get Bingo won.

***I've decided to use this for my winter camp. I took Zeeg's version and added my bingo game and some of the intro info from the frist Billboard PPT to it. Here's the final product.

Yeah, just checked, looks like a few had copyright take downs, or at least disabled embedding.

They did work at the time, nothing lasts forever. I don't really use pop songs in my classes. Maybe the kids will get something from the songs they shouldn't, but kpop is a bit racy despite the sugary sounds and the kids in my school go around singing songs like these. I remember last year the kids were obsessed with LMFAO, and that wasn't coming from my class.

Hey zeegs,

I was hoping you might provide some instruction on how to embed new videos into the billboard chart game. I am trying to add some of my own selections and have found it quite difficult. If anybody else feels that they can weigh in, it would be much appreciated.

thanks!!

If you just want to add a youtube video, check out the authorstream add-on for Powerpoint. It makes it really simple. http://www.authorstream.com/desktop/

thanks a lot; the add-on makes life easier....should have just googled it I guess; it's a slow slow  morning....
