✨ How To Play Champion ✨
For this game you will need your students’ names on flashcards or icy pole sticks so you can draw out names at random and keep track of who has already had a turn.
Alternatively I have included slides where you can add your class list and then cross off students as they have been picked. In doing so, you can pick students with similar abilities to verse each other.
Have students sitting on the mat with the PowerPoint displayed. Draw 2 students’ names to begin. They will both stand up and verse each other. Display the question on the PowerPoint and the first person to call it out stays standing, the other person sits down. Draw another student’s name to stand up and display the next slide. Again the first student to call out the correct answer stays standing and the other student sits down and play continues. Once a student has won against 3 other students the class calls out “(Name) is a champion!” and they sit down. The next 2 students to verse each other are then picked.
If 2 students say the answer at the same time, they verse again. If the tie 3 times, they both are champions.
You can pick the slides at random and use the same slide multiple times if you happen to run out of slides.
Teacher Tip: By allowing a student to only win against 3, more students get a chance to be a champion instead of just one winner, however you could play where the winner continues to stand and the game ends when there is no one left in the class to verse.
You will need PowerPoint to use this product.
