Hey Teachers!

I hope you and your students can enjoy these powerpoint templates.  Along with the classic bomb games there are plenty of exciting new game concepts, simple study tools and classroom management materials. 

A big thank you to fellow waygook members 'sallyafc' (who produces many amazing games and concepts), 'summerthyme', 'JoshF', and 'sheila', along with Rick Teacher (the true original) and Jennifer Yong, for providing complete games.  Also, thanks to ‘Amy Rodulfo', 'Paul', 'vitamin-d' and ‘Melissha' here at Waygook.org and 'ddeubel' at 'eflclassroom.ning.c om' for providing great concepts for me to work with.

Instructions are included with each template.  There are 6 types of game:

Review Games
Use to study, reinforce or test language and grammar.  Check out 'Memorize!', 'Wordshark', 'Chase the Vocab' and 'Pass the Bomb' for something very different!

Bomb Games
The classic powerpoint game for reviewing and drilling language.  Students receive, steal and swap points but have to avoid losing them all when a bomb explodes!  Check out 'BOOM!' for a new twist on the genre or 'Add Your Own Face Game' to get yourself into the powerpoint! 

Versus Games
Teams play against each other to win.  Teams can answer individually but it gets really exciting if they answer simultaneously!  Use 'Blockbusters' as a powerful tool to get every student talking.

Quizzes
Simple competitions to get your students interested: better for older students.  Raise the tension with 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'.

Grids
Single slide games to drill language functions (Q&As).  Quick and easy templates to complete, they provide a well structured recap or warm-up.  See 'Minesweeper' for an easy and fun game.

Trackers
No question slides to fill!  Simply use these single slides to keep score in class and reward students and teams during an activity.  Check out 'Race!' for some great looking fun.
