eh, what is a 'booster' - it is an answer to a question in this solar quiz but I'm not sure what it is, or am I reading it wrong....I'm not a science head, that's for sure...

I forgot to mention that for the game, I decided to have the sts put their papers and books away. However, when we took up the answers to the worksheet, I wrote some of the vacab words on the board, so they could check their spelling. I left those words up throughout the game since they seemed very unfamiliar with English space terms.

Before the game began, I gave them time in their teams to complete the worksheet, but I didn't hand out dictionaries. I had them fill it in by memory from the beginning of the class, when I showed the ppt about the solar system with all the vocab words.

Update: The classes are still going well, with the exception of one pretty dead class. They really disappointed me, but I think their knowledge of space, even in Korean was pretty low.

How do you place spacemen on the relevant team or take them away when you get to the "home" points screen?

I've got everything else, I just can't seem to make the spacemen appear...

Great lesson, absolutely brilliant game! Well done ^^

To add spacemen click on each team's grey landing pad.
To remove spacemen, click on the spacemen.

Thanks for this lesson! My students really enjoyed the game!  Did you use any other application other than PPT to make this lesson?

I had to use CDex to convert an MP3 to wav so it would embed in the PPT, but apart from that no.
Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad it was useful to you.

I am sorry if this is late in coming. I hope you get this message vitamin d. I played this game with my grade two boys students this week and 2 out of 3 classes gave you a standing ovation after lift off. They were mesmerized! They have enjoyed your work in the past but this was the pinnacle! Thanks for all your great ideas and hard work! You will be missed by me and my students! Best wishes.....
