This powerpoint is set up for revision, tests/quizzes or just games of “Life’s Tough”. It works by either groups or individuals answering questions they are given, when they answer correctly they can come up to the board and pick a number, behind each number is either a +5, +10 or +15 points with some -1 and -10 point blocks hidden in there as well. The winner at the end is the team/individual who has the highest score. This is a great motivation tool for lower ability students who will see that there is always a chance to win as no one team is able to consistently gain points and take a commanding lead. Students I have used this with love the random element it gives to quizzes and I’ve found it to work best with teams and accepting the first three correct answers written down that I move around the room to check. Three teams choosing at a time gives you 6 questions per board. There are 6 boards with the points in a different order so the students cannot learn where the positives are. I mix them up but there are enough for one a term. There are also the individual slides used to create the finished boards so you can make more or change them however you want.

This powerpoint contains Blockbusters, Life’s Tough, Two truths & a Lie and Wipeout boards. The boards for each game are easy to customise so they can be used for any subject/topic. Each of the Blockbusters, Life’s tough and Wipeout boards are interactive with reveals for each set up after following the simple instructions in the word document attached. The Life’s Tough boards have 6 variations so there is a different point layout for each term, the same can be done for the Wipeout boards.
