***Works best with Powerpoint 2007*** (still the easiest program to make and use games!)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 GamesUse to study, reinforce or test language and grammar. Check out 'Memorize!', 'Wordshark', 'Chase the Vocab' and 'Pass the Bomb' for something very different!Bomb GamesThe 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 GamesTeams 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.QuizzesSimple competitions to get your students interested: better for older students. Raise the tension with 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'.GridsSingle 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.TrackersNo 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.:) :) My personal favorites are: 'BOOM!', 'Pass the Bomb', 'Add Your Own Face Game', 'Chase the Vocab', 'Memorize!', 'Minesweeper' and the 'Race!' tracker. :) :)Review GamesBingo: easy to fill: handouts to print included!Boggle: a very simple template to play this classic.Chase the Vocab: based on 3 card monte - what's under each card? - concept by Amy Rodulfo'.Disappearing Dialog: featuring Bart and Lisa Simpson.Give me a Clue: students guess the hidden picture using clues.Guess What: what's hidden behind the boxes? 17 different slide types.Guess Where: find the pairs of vocabulary cards.Make A Sentence: 4 game types!Memorize!: can you remember a sequence of vocabulary? 2 game types.Pass the Bomb: pass the bomb until it explodes! 2 game types. - concept by Paul.Pass the Pencil Case: when the crazy music stops that person answers a question.Silly Bulls!: a game to practice blending 2 and 3 syllable words.TV Speed Quiz: choose a channel: can your teammate guess the vocabulary? - concept by sallyafc.Vocabulary Starter: a simple warm up/recap/stimulus activity.Word Shark: digital hangman: add your own face for a class determined to lose! - concept by Melissha.Wordsearch: play on the big screen up against a time limit.Word Unscramble: play with or without picture hints and quick time limits!Word Wars: A simple game to test vocabulary. by summerthyme.Bomb Games The bracket [-Q] indicates the total number of question slides to complete.Add Your Own Face Game [20Q]: easily add photos of yourself (and CT!) into this game.

Here's a very crude template for a Guess the Picture game (the quick fill-in-a-few-minutes game where you uncover a picture piece by piece and students try to guess what it is). I hope it's useful to someone.
Once the images are over the purple box, right click the image and 'send to back'.It was made on an old version of PPT and you may be having some other problem.
