What This Game Reviews
The protagonist, first person point of view, foreshadowing, stage directions and situational irony; metaphor, personification, imagery, the haiku pattern and tone; fact and opinion, the lead of a news article, captions, cause and effect signal words and flawed reasoning; capital letters, commas after introductory clauses, fragments, appositives and comma splices; topic sentences, “show, don’t tell”, formal greetings, CER and the call to action; strong verbs, prefixes, Latin roots, connotation and context clues; and a types of conflict Final Question. The questions review lessons from all six weeks of my middle school ELA sub plans, and the game works just as well on its own for any 6th, 7th or 8th grade ELA class.
Made for Grades 6 to 8
The questions are short and climb from 6th grade skills at $100 to 8th grade skills at $500: the main character and a simple metaphor at the start, irony, comma splices and context clues at the top. Every example sentence is my own, no question needs a reading passage, and the teacher key lists the answers to accept.
Play It Without a Projector
Print the question cards double-sided and cut them apart. Lay them question-down on the table so students see only the category and the dollar value, just like the board. A student picks a card, a partner reads the question and checks the answer printed on the card. The same cards work for pairs, stations and small groups, and for a sub day.
Daily Double and Final Question
The Daily Double hides behind one cell on the board. The team that picks it wagers any amount up to their total before seeing the question, and doubles that wager if they answer correctly. When the board is cleared, every team writes down a Final Question wager, the question is shown, and teams add or lose their wager. Highest total wins.
Works On
Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks. Project the slides. No student devices or logins required.
Important
Play in Slideshow (Present) mode so every cell, button, and link works. The sound buttons (thumbs up, thumbs down, and music) work in the PowerPoint version, which is included here. Google Slides does not play sounds, so those buttons are simply decorative in the Slides version.
