OPTIONS
Faces and Places is fun and flexible. Play alone, with a friend, or with the entire class. Add categories that correspond directly with your curriculum at any grade level. Bob's game show question and answer format is great for building knowledge in specific areas and also can be used to focus on vocabulary and spelling. Unscrambling Vanessa's letter clues exercises critical thinking skills.
CUSTOMIZE
Bob's qustions may coordinate more precisely with your curriculum if you add your own game categories. You may also find a fun and enlightening opportunity for students by having individuals or small groups research topics in order to create categories on their own. Game categories can focus on your curriculum, your community, current events, this week's vocabulary list, or special student projects. Follow the simple directions within the program for entering a category title and the questions and answers (max.=256 characters) that go with it.
