Game Features
For an added challenge, includes 5 levels where the teacher will adjust their talking speed depending on the level
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.
Runtime
(based on experiences from me and other teachers)
Time: 15-20min; Students: 15; Skill Focus: Listening; Finished: Yes (used varying talking speeds, added gifs after each round, and added a money values (right answers got +1,000 won up to 100,000won depending on the level) - this added ~5min to the game)
