I'm did a review with my kids to prepare them for the final. I used a frozen bomb game that's popular with my little ones.

Credits to the original creator for the template. It's absolutely amazing.

Note:

I added instructions because this is the first time I did a bomb game with my 3rd graders. The first time we did this, we just went through a demo as an example (and used up a letter). Near the end, we weren't able to do a full last round because we were one short (from the demo earlier) for all 6 groups to go again.

Also, you can delete the "no heart" sign in the directions. I have a level up system where they get "hearts" as experience points. Sometimes the kids misunderstand and add hearts for each point in a game when only the winner is supposed to get hearts.

This will last nearly an entire class. We're gonna play some phonics videos to take up time when this is over. Easy class :) hope it helps.

Sonic the Hedgehog Review Game

All the credit for design, and everything technical goes to powelldr and his team. I just filled in the review info.

Some things to note:

I did not particularly like the power ups and the in game scoring system. It became a little too confusing for 3rd graders, especially since my kids knew every answer, so it defeated the purpose.

I would propose making the power ups just worth 5 rings if you want to forgo said complication, and then you can keep a manual scoreboard (since the game also crashed on me once, this was a preferred method.)

Also, the boss battle is worth zero rings, so you may choose to let the teams roll the dice twice to get extra rings.

Other than that, this design is absolutely beautiful.

Many Blessings in your Teaching Adventures.

Thanks so much for using my game! I spent such a long time on it (just by myself), I'm so glad someone else actually used it and posted it to share!
If you'd prefer not to use the power-ups I included in the game, you can change the prize for each question slide by changing it's layout. I agree, some of the power-ups aren't too useful for the easier third grade questions. That way you can use only the ones you want. Also, if you'd prefer not to use the boss battle, you can choose to play the "Normal" version of the game.

The idea of the other version of the game was to reset the score for each round, with the team with the most points winning that round. By resetting the score, one team couldn't dominate the whole game. The boss battle was a way for the teams with less points to get an extra point and potentially beat the top team. I created this specifically because I had some classes where most of the high level students were concentrated into one or two groups and it really discouraged the other students.
