I downloaded the fonts and they work. Thank you so much! I can't wait to play this game with my 6th graders today!

Great!  How did it go?

You are the best! These games are ridiculously effective and simply amazing... Gotta love the sound and the visuals!! :D Students at my school love it. Especially the points swapping thing and score reset... The faces of these students when their team's points get swapped is FUNNY!! hahaha
Your helpful guides are very much appreciated too!

Thank you!!

Aha yeah it's great when their scores get changed.  The best is when the very last question is a special event and it changes the winner of the game.  The students go wild.

I would love to see a professional Lord of the Rings and 300 PPT.  I made one but not as good as Sprite06 or daejeon! Keep up the awesome work!

Have you posted your game?  I'd like to see it!  Lord of the Rings or 300 could probably be done, I don't know if my elementary students would connect with it though, ahah.

I played your Pokemon game 2 weeks ago with my grade 6 class and they went absolutely banana's!!!! It was awesome. They were so impressed with the graphics.. they asked me if I made it ( I wish I could have lied and said yes... ) It's awesome.. can't wait to play more of your games...^^ I wish I could make games like that.. sigh

Haha awesome!  Thank you

Really well designed games that kids loved to play. I have only had the chance to show my grade 5's the Pokemon game but they went nuts over it. I like almost everything about these PPT's, especially the fact you use quality pictures and sounds.

Have you thought about including the scoreboard system for every game? The students reacted really well to the sounds from the Pokemon one.

In the YuGiOh one, it would be great if there was a logo for adding / subtracting points (I see it's explained in the first slide though)

The only game without a scoreboard is the Spongebob game.  Daejeon actually made a scoreboard for it but I haven't gotten around to updating it and posting it.
I'll try to make sure that the scoreboards are clearer in the future  :)

WOW, JUST AMAZING!!!

I wish I had the skills as you did to make these games. I'm pretty much
a computer dummy so I'm just so grateful.

I think there needs to be some kind of seminar on how to make these games.
I think you and Daejeon could be the lead speaker.

Thanks a million!!!

That would be cool!  I've thought about holding a little meeting and teaching how to make them.  It would depend on people's interest though.  The powerpoint side of making games is easily done, the graphics and sounds are the real terd.

Just wanna say these games rock the funk out!!! You will be blessed for your kind deeds, my friend. Thanks a bunch. I mean it.

Hey Sprite - maybe it's just me being slow, but I don't understand the scoreboard on your Yugioh game. I can't for the life of me figure out how to subtract points. What am I missing?

No worries! 

Click the top right corner of the square to add 1, the bottom right to subtract 1.

Click the top left corner to add 5, the bottom left corner to subtract 5.

Today, one of my lower level English student came in after school to ask if he could play your yu-gi-oh ppt game, one on one on my computer. You games are really motivating my students to learn English!

Are there any shorter bomb games out there? 26 boxes is way way too much in my opinion, and my teachers agree. We only ever let the students pick 4 boxes per team max. Be nice to have a complete template in which they students are able to finish the game.

These are just my games.  Each has 26 questions, one question per letter in the alphabet.  Of course there are dozens of bomb games made by other users on the boards with varying lengths and styles. 

You can always delete questions.  Just delete letters P - Z or whatever you want on the question selection screen.  If the students can't select the question, it may as well not exist.

Just curious - how many teams are you using? That seems like very few boxes.

I always use three teams, as the tables in my classrooms are always in three columns. I tend to (well my teachers prefer too) only do a bomb game for 10 mins or so, sometimes as a way of pre-teaching lexis and as a review.

And yeah, I just edited the pokemon one. I had just read somewhere that messing with the slides would mess up the game, unsure why, as powerpoints are very simple. I actually had a good idea in the process. I will for all future bomb games change the letters of the bombs to pictures of key vocabulary that the Ss are studying, or have studied. In this case, in a game of 15 pokemon balls, I have 5 (a row) with random letters, another row with random numbers, and another row with faces representing different feelings.

There are some things that will create problems if you delete them.
You can change the letters to vocab pictures, but make sure to re-hyperlink the pictures to the question slides. 

But as far as lowering the number of questions, deleting the letters on the selection screen won't create any problems.  All of the linked slides will still exist, they just won't be accessible 

Thank you so much for all the effort you put into these. They're especially great for grades with more students or lower attention spans!

I know what you mean!
I love how these games make even the most uninterested and 'problematic' students sit up and participate!

Hey man,

You make awesome games, but I just found out that Macbooks don't support Macros :(, so I have been changing somethings to fit my Mac. Has anyone else found solutions to the macros issues?

Thanks so much, your games have save my life super easy LOL. I at least owe you a beer.

Cheers_ 

Again... The games are just straight up amazing, I'm glued to the screen as much as the kids. It's also something to be able to give the kids a similar experience to what I had growing up. One of wonder at where the teachers could have found or created such amazing stuff - my general motto would be bamboozel and then teach while they're all starry eyed and totally receptive. These games hit it on the mark.

I have one issue, and I think it may be with how I'm saving the file or clicking or something. But in the Pokemon V2 game, when a trainer battle happens... then all of the pokeballs (A-Z) are up again in the selection screen, so all of the options that have already been chosen are now up again. The scoreboard however, remains tallied. So it's not that it resets everything, just the selection screen. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thank you for any help on this in advance!

First off, thank you for the Pokemon Bomb Game! Every one of my classes (not to mention I myself) have had a great time playing it as a midterm review.

I have a question though. Where did you find the GameBoy-like pictures of the Pokemon once you open the pokeballs? I searched Google Images and various sites for a while but no luck.

I'm asking because I want to play the game again for finals, but I want to include different Pokemon and Pokemon I like. I know there's a second version of the game, but I'd still like to customize the Pokemon if I could to make a 2-part game.

Thanks again!
