31. Instructions Introduction Quiz-O-Rama is a game show template for two to eight teams or players. It is designed to be used with questions you provide to review topics covered in your classroom. The PowerPoint slide show will record team names and track team scores throughout the game; the game can be ended at any time, has provisions for a tiebreaking question, and will declare a winner based on team scores. Creating Your Presentation To change the game show name, double-click on the title on Slide 1. To change category titles, select View > Master > Slide Master in the PowerPoint menu bar. (Slide images can also be deleted or replaced in master slides.) Change category listings on the quiz board in normal mode. Type questions and answers in the boxes provided on question slides, making sure to add a question to the “Tiebreaker” slide (Slide 4). Categories or questions can be reduced by deleting question slides as well as their corresponding buttons on the quiz board, but the tiebreaking slide should be retained. Next >

32. Instructions Starting the Game Macros must be enabled for the game to function properly. (Settings under Tools > Macros > Security should be set to “Medium” and any open files, including this one, must be closed completely and re-opened for the changes to take effect.) Run the PowerPoint presentation from the first slide. On Slide 2, click the “Play Game” button to set the number of teams and to enter team names. Each team should have their team name and number written down, preferably in a location where the presenter can see them. You will then have the option of having scores presented in a dialog box each time a button is pushed; this optional feature can help students keep careful track of their scores, but can slow down the game slightly. Type “Y” in the box if you wish to enable this feature. The presentation will then advance to the Quiz Board. Next >

33. Instructions Playing The Game Select a team to choose the first category and point value and click on the text link they choose (clicking anywhere else in the box will not advance the slide). The presentation will advance to the selected question; read the question to the students, and allow the first team with an answer to answer the question. When they have stated their answer, click once on the slide to reveal the correct answer. Add or subtract points using the team number’s buttons next to the “+” and “-” symbols at the bottom of the question slide. (If you selected for scores to be continuously displayed, a dialog box will appear detailing the scores should now appear.) The presenter can award points to multiple teams for answering a question if desired. Click on the yellow arrow button to return to the Quiz Board. The team with the correct answer should choose the next category and point value. Questions that have been accessed will have gray point values, but can be accessed again if desired, with points allotted in the same manner as before. You can display all teams’ scores at any time by clicking on the “Current Scores” button on the Quiz Board. Next >

34. Instructions Ending the Game When all questions have been answered, or when the available time is up, the presenter can end the game by clicking on the “Declare Winner” button in the bottom righthand corner of the Quiz Board slide. The game will then compare the scores of each team and, if one team has the highest score, will advance to a screen declaring that team the winner and stating the number of points they earned. If two or more teams are tied for the high score, a dialog box will appear which asks the presenter to identify the tied teams. A “Tiebreaker” slide will then appear. The full range of team numbers will be shown, but only those teams tied for the high score should be permitted to answer. Allow additional tied teams to attempt to answer if the first answering team’s answer is incorrect, until a team supplies the correct answer. Then click on that team’s team number to advance the presentation to the slide declaring that team the winner. Note: To play the game again, you should escape out of presentation mode and restart the presentation to reset hyperlinks on the Quiz Board. Return to Main Menu >
