3. The Burger Bar PowerPoint Review Game
By Catherine Slight and Lin Pearson
How to work the PowerPoint
This game is made of two PowerPoint presentation files (burger_bar1 and burger_bar_score_slide).
Burger_bar1 contains the playing "board". This has 15 items – three each of a burger, fries, drink, ketchup and ice cream. Each item is covered by a lettered rectangle. The aim of the game is to gather one each of all the items.
The other presentation contains the scoring chart.
Only one of these slides is visible at a time. So the game is played by “hopping” from one presentation to the other as each team has its turn.
Movement between the boards is by means of the small oval buttons at the bottom of each slide. After a team has completed its turn, click on the button and you will be taken to the other board.
*** Remember, this will only work if you have both the files in the same folder on your computer!
More instructions are on the following slide>>

4. Method: 1. Divide the group into TWO teams – Team A and Team B.
2. Ask a starter question to determine which team goes first.
3. Then start the review proper. A correct answer earns the right to choose a letter. That rectangle is removed by clicking on it to reveal the item underneath.
4. Now use the oval button to open the score chart. If the team needs the item they revealed, click on it in their line of items and a red tick (check mark) will be put on it.
5. Then click on the small oval button to return to the playing board.
6. Now the other team has a chance to answer a question and choose a lettered card.
The game progresses like this, moving back and forward from the playing board to the score chart.
Always remember that once an item is uncovered you can go to the score chart for the children to see if they need that item or not.
Then you can build up excitement and hold their interest by pointing out something like: "Look, you only need the ketchup and ice cream to finish the game. Let's see if you can find one of them!“
7. If at any time an item is revealed which is not needed by the team, because they already have it checked off, you must return to the playing board and click on that item, to cover it over again.
This can cause great excitement, if the other team are looking for that item. They must be on the alert, and remember which letter it is under! This is an aid to concentration!
Each return to the score chart enables the teams to see at a glance what they have already collected, and adds interest to the game when they know what they are looking for, and what to avoid.
The winner is the first team to collect all 5 items or, if time or questions run out, the team that collects the most items.
