Hello all!

From the guy who brought you one of the K-POP Slams, comes a brand new game. Apples to Apples, converted from a simple fun card game into a fully functional Powerpoint.

I included a HOW_TO_PLAY document.

The best part is the game is 100% editable. Dont like my words? you can edit all the text within the game. These changes require no powerpoint knowledge, if you can use waygook.org, you can change the text boxes.

If you have any questions, suggestions, please please please post them. I'll do my best to address them. If you would like me to make new apple avatars, please ask, you will be giving me something to do.

Also, I do not own the apples to apples name, and most of the images I made were in likeliness to other apples to apples iterations. For that I recommend you do not try and sell or make money from this game!

Thank you for looking, downloading, and enjoying, as I know you will. Have fun and Happy Teaching!

>>To address the issue of high difficulty level, I took out most of the "?"s, leaving out only one vowel. Again this can all be adjusted to fit your class.

Fantastic!

The language level is a little high...which is why it is a great vocabulary builder!

P.S. To win, you have to think of what the JUDGE would choose...

This looks awesome.
I'll have to edit the ???s out for my students but I think they'll love it :)

Thanks for making it! (and thanks for your kpop slam too, my kids loved it)

The format for this game is great! There were a couple of words with question marks that I had trouble figuring out:

Super ????? - Very famous and expensive woman
D??? - Business workers with families at home
Eat??? Hotdogs - Best served with ketchup and cheese (is it "eating"?)
and is "Home makers and mothers" wives?

Super model
Dads
eating
and yes

I took out most of the "?"s and re-uploaded, hope this helps.

Glad every bodies enjoying it. You'll really have to come back and tell me how it goes, as I will not be able to play it for a while myself.

OMG :o
This is amazing, totally saves me having to buy the game even though the game would be better. Great Job man.

Thanks much for the activity and I will be sampling it for my own class next week! Keep up the great work and thanks again for your post!

thanks for making this game! just one thing i'd like to mention: since i've never played this game before it took me a while to figure out that i have to click directly on the red apples and not just anywhere on the answer (maybe i'm dumb. i mean the game is called aples to apples for a reason), so you might want to add that (obvious) point to your how to play instructions.

Wintermute · « **Reply #15 on:** March 02, 2012, 04:41:27 PM »

Thank you Felix. That is partially true. You can click anywhere on the left hand side of the cards. So if a team yells out Obama as an answer, you can just click the Obama card to see how many points that team won.

This is awesome. Thanks.

This is amazing! I too am editing out the ?? for my country kids but I have been trying to figure out how to do this without my ragamuffins destroying a 60,000W copy of the game itself!

yellowpiano · « **Reply #19 on:** March 05, 2012, 03:29:14 PM »

This looks great! Thank you so much for uploading it.

Just to let you know in the kpop round (the singer judge) - Beast are a 6 member boyband, so you all might want to correct that before you use it in the classroom (especially if you've got any of their fans in the class).
