Happy monday all.

Kids go crazy over this one and its fun to teach.

Especially suited for middle school, I think.

I usually play this game as a dictation race game, good for reviewing any chapter with the key expressions. You will have to come up with the questions yourself.

It's an 'aggressive' game, about making other teams lose health and eliminating them.

Defeated teams can remain as 'ghost castles' or you can get rid of the ghost castle pictures if you don't like that rule.

(Ext. Version has 5 lives per team instead of 4)

This looks great! Should be easy to use for a variety of different activities and levels.

And my boys love the idea of 'killing'

the other teams. Thanks!!!

I love this idea! I'm thinking up many ways to use this as I type. This would be great for speaking activities as well for my after school and night class students!

Thanks for the wonderful idea!

I decided to make an extended version of the game with 5 lives.
With 4 lives, its possible for a team that's being picked on to be wiped out in 2 turns, which is a bit harsh.

Really great idea thanks for the powerpoint! I added new content (so not lego themed) and added a 'choose number of teams' option (2 up to 8 teams). Thanks again.

Great visuals and cool option to choose team number!

I'm excited just looking at this. I wanna play too!

I'm thinking of dividing each team by writing skills and assign them a number from 1-4. All the 1's battle each other, etc. Because I have some students who are really terrible at writing, and I want them to have a good time too.

Can't seem to see any links to ppt's on any threads.

Haven't logged in for a few months here, but have contributed in the past etc. Has something changed?
