Here's a great link to a site that will let you download Powerpoint Templates for Jeopardy, Price is Right and other popular games. You can then add your own questions for review. I find that games are a great way to teach and these templates make it visually exciting.

Your kids will really think that you put in a lot of effort;they'll be impressed.

Thank you Carol!

I am back to blogging on this site because I realize that I need to put down some of my ideas so I don't forget them.

Today, I'm proctoring a test so I don't have a lot of grading to do. My students are working hard because I play a little game called the "Dum Dum List." Basically, if the students get an answer wrong then they get a mark by their name on the Dum Dum List. At the end of the class, they have to do an exercise such as jumping jack, sit up, push up, etc, for each answer they get wrong.

It tends to motivate and energize the class because they at least get to move and exercise a bit.
