Copy and paste a class list into this little application, then click a button to watch a “fruit machine” animation which will randomly spin the names until one is chosen at random. A nice way of selecting people to answer questions. Alternatively, put in a list of keywords and then teams have to correctly define the selected word within 30 seconds to get points.
An essay assignment for Year 9 to round off their study of the Causes of the French Revolution.
I have developed the Quiz Maker at www.classtools.net so that you can now cut and paste questions and answers from a word processor very easily and, with the click of a button, create a Manic Miner / Wordshoot / Cannonball Fun / Matching Pairs game.
A new Fling the Teacher Quiz with several sets of questions.
A new end of unit quiz for Year 7.
Put students into teams of 4-5.
The first member of the first team sits in the “hotseat” with their back to the interactive whiteboard.
The teacher uses the “Random Word Picker” at www.classtools.net to choose and display a word at random on the interactive whiteboard.
The rest of the team have 30 seconds to get their teammate to guess what word is on the screen behind them by giving a definition.
A correct guess gets points for the team based on how many seconds are left on the clock (e.g. 25 points if they get it after 5 seconds).
The teacher should then provide a short outline of the significance of the term, and all students should make a note of it.
Repeat for the other teams, and carry on for as many rounds as you like!
