Brainstorm - A Party (lesson) game
Great for revision and end of terms
Keep the party going after the big game with Brainstorm.You've played the "one note" party games; now play the one that keeps the party going with loads of categories for loads of fun! All the zany challenges get everyone into the action. Charge up game lessons with the one powepoint that rolls many of your favourite party games all into one game! Played in two teams of any size, it’s designed to keep players with all types of skills and interests having a blast.There is opportunity to add your own slides and keep extending the game (adapting to each class)
The game has several sections - depending on the students you have:
Act-it (charades) - One person acts out the clue for the rest of the team.
Guess-it (word clues) – Get your team to guess as many words as they can.
List-it (things in a category) – Teams try to guess the 9 answers in the category.
Draw-it (draw the clue) – Get your team to guess your drawing as quickly as they can.
Match-it (memory) - Find the pairs as quickly as you can, watch out for the moving tiles.
Perform-it (reverse charades) – The team acts out the clue for just one guesser.
Order-it (sorting challenge) - Put the listings in order … shortest to longest, oldest to newest.
Built-it and and fill-it (tangram torture!) - Uncover the shapes by answering questions to build a picture of the clue; and fill in the gaps on the slides
Know-it (trivia challenge) – Guess as many trivia questions as you can before the buzzer.
Contains over 580 slides of key words, match ups, questions, games, drawings, fill in and uncover for the following topics:

149 defintions that can be printed out and given to students or can just be used for teacher purposes.
The separate science defintions are separated out - not to get mixed in with the combined defintions
All defintions have been compared to the exam mark schemes
Really good feedback from the students and higher students prefer to have this list to use for revision purposes at home.
I have been using it for mini tests in class
