IS IT DIGITAL?

No. This game includes features that are not compatible with Google Slides.

An important feature of the game is that the dollar amounts on the game board disappear when clicked. This prevents students from selecting the same questions over and over during game play. This function is not currently available through Google Slides.

If you are remote teaching, this game works great when played via Zoom, where the teacher shares their screen to play.

ABOUT THE GAME:

• 25 questions and answers (50 slides)
• 5 categories: Animals, Beaches, Pollution, People, and Oceans
• All text editable. Artwork has been locked down to secure copyrighted material.
• Dollar amounts for each question disappear after the question is selected. This ensures students do not select the same question twice. For example, if a student selects “Beaches for $200,” the question will be revealed. Upon return to the game board, the “Beaches for $200” square will no longer be visible.
• Every question and answer slide has full-color photos to go with it.
