You can also play this game  in pairs or individually if there aren’t too many students.

The instructions above are for the reading version of this game. To play as a speaking game, use images instead of words in the boxes. A template for this version is also included as hidden slides at the end of the PowerPoint. Further in instructions on how to play and edit this version are found in the "notes" section of the PowerPoint.

If you want to use it as a  writing activity, have teams choose a box by writing the word/sentence in the box. Then, reveal what's behind each box after teams are finished writing.

The online/Zoom version of this game is also a writing variation. Similar to the writing variation above, students choose a box by writing the word/sentence in the box. However, this version is done individually and students keep track of their own lives on their paper. Some other minor changes include students starting with 5 lives instead of 4 and the "steal a life" reward being removed. I have also added a new rule: Instead of a student being out if they lose all their lives, they can have negative lives. Furthermore, if at any point a student has negative lives, they have write the word or sentence they choose twice instead of just once. Though, feel free to delete or adjust this rule if you don't want to play with it.
