Game Features

Play as a listening or a listening/reading game - templates for both versions included in the PowerPoint

How to Play

Students can see different pictures on the safe, each with numbers under them.

The teacher will read a set of words or sentences.

Students will try to match what the teacher says to the pictures on the screen and write down the numbers under them.

The numbers they write will make a code to unlock the safe.

Once students have finished writing, the teacher will click/press the spacebar to reveal the code and check the students' answers.

Variations

The instructions above are for the listening version of this game. If you want to add a reading component, use words instead of pictures in the boxes. A template for this version is also included as hidden slides at the end of the PowerPoint.

STUDENTS: 15 TIME: 15-20min SKILL FOCUS: Listening FINISHED GAME?: Yes

The game is great and I enjoy using varying talking speeds. I added gifs after each round (like unlock the bank) and added a money value. (right answers get +1,000 won up to 100,000won depending on the level). The gifs get a good reaction in addition to the money aspect. Students add all of the money they made at the end. This adds about +5 minutes to the game (making the total run time about 20 minutes).

The runtimes in this chart are based on experiences from me and other teachers. If you had a different experience playing this game and would like to submit your own runtime feedback, please use the form below.
