How to Play
Students play this game individually.
3 different words or sentences appear on the slide, each attached to a different Pokémon.
Students write the word or sentence of the Pokémon they think will come out of the Poké Ball on the next slide.
Once students are finished writing, press the spacebar to go to the next slide.
Press the spacebar again to open the Poké Ball and reveal the winning Pokémon and the word/sentence.
Students who guessed correctly get 1 point and the student with the most points at the end of the game is the winner!
Variations
This game can be played in pairs or groups as well. I usually give each pair/group a mini whiteboard to write their answers on. They can keep track of their own points on their whiteboard too.
