Hey, All.
I really like that Block Busters ppt game that's floating around, so I decided to make one with essentially the same gameplay, but a different theme. I tried to make it look like one of those board games with land pieces.
The goal is to make it across the island, either horizontally (blue team) or vertically (red team).
Click a tile to go to the question screen.
Click the Question box to make the Answer box appear.
Click X or O to return to the ABC tile screen
Red and Blue choices will appear. Click the one corresponding to the team whose turn it is, and a colored hexagon will replace the letter tile.
Teams keep taking turns until one of them has formed an unbroken chain of tiles from one side to the other.
Ideally, students will try to block eachother's chains and use some semblance of strategy. Because there are no point values assigned to the different tiles like in other games, this template can be reused without fear of students memorizing which tiles are worth how much.
Hopefully this works alright on all versions of Powerpoint. It works fine on my home computer with Powerpoint 2013, so fingers crossed it'll work on older versions, too.
Enjoy!
