IT IS SO INTERESTING@ I LOVE THIS

very rare that i can just download a lesson and use it straight off from this website - thank you, this is excellent

i will fiddle around with the presentation a little bit to include my bucket list

This was such a fun lesson. I had the students make a bucket list of five things and write their name on it. I collected the list and picked random students to read the lists. The other students had to guess who wrote it. They had a lot of fun guessing who wrote the list. I used this with big classes and small classes. It works for both but it's better with big classes.

A warning -- I tried this with my class and while the Bucket list went over very well, this activity did not. My middle school students were horrified when they found out I'd be reading their lists outloud to the class. I changed it to where I only read things that weren't embarrassing -- ie: learn guitar, but my students still were practically on their toes hoping I wouldn't say certain things.

So, I suggest you read the tone of the class before you try it, and possibly purposefully pick out the more active students.

I also tried the suggested 'start the class by asking the worst way to die'. My co-teacher slowly turned her head and gave me a poker face, hahaha. Maybe I won't do that again...

Thanks for this lesson! I had my schedule rearranged at the last minute and this was a perfect solution. My middle school students came up with some great lists. The PPT game didn't work in the classroom,  though it does work on my computer in the teacher's room, but in any case there was plenty to do to fill the time.

Great lesson!!!

Thank you, yes I agree too, this lesson pan was well done and executed in its process.

the lesson is cute, but the wheel wont spin for me

Yeah it doesnt spin for me either lol

Here are smaller versions of the lesson and game ppt files.

As well, the spin slide at the end that you use for points is fixed to spin instead of link you to some random slide.

Also, you won't need the external video or sound files, since they're embedded in the lesson PPT.
