Guess the Phrase (Wheel of Fortune) Classroom Quiz
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 бер 2018
- Easy tutorial that shows how to quickly and easily create a highly effective and extremely versatile classroom resource based on the popular TV show Wheel of Fortune, where students have to guess topical words or phrases based on letters which they guess in turns.
As a web designer turned teacher, you can't begin to imagine how much time you have saved me. I had planned on incorportating many word games into my lessons by hard coding, now, thanks to your tutorials, I don't need to do that. You sir are a legend.
I am in awe of how clearly you explain everyrhing.
Awesome, The steps wee on point!!! Thank you, Literacy class, here I come!!!!
Have fun!
This is an awesome tool! Thank you for putting it together and posting!
You're very welcome, and I'm so glad you found it useful
So simple and so smart. Absolutely wonderful.
Thank you very much!
I'm a teacher too and I'd like to use this powerful tool you have explained. Thank you very much for your efforts.
what a great idea for a new year’s eve party!! thanks 🙏🏼
Hello Justin, I have used it during my courses. That is just great ! Thank you so much, all your tips have geared up my ways of teaching !
Thank you Charles, I'm so glad you've found them useful!
I was looking for this template and this tutorial is perfect. Thank you very much!
Thanks for clear instructions!
thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I just created mine and am ready to try it with my ss!!!
You are brilliant! I will use it for my A Level class as a warm-up activity.
So helpful. Thank you so much!
Great for my English as foreign language classes. Do you have a tutorial on how to add/edit the sounds and other effects for this vídeo? Thanks in advance
This works great! Thanks. How can I add sound effect only when the letter appears on the phrase board. I assume we only need to add it to the first letter since they all appear at once if used but i only want the sound when the letter shows on the board NOT if the letter is not used.
Thanks for sharing, it took me a half a day to create the template and now I am ready to share it with my colleagues. Your short cuts were very helpful and you showed me a couple of tools I had never used before. FYI, I plan to pay winners of each round with candy or snacks, it adds to the fun. Some players like certificates as long as you make them fun enough to give them bragging rights. We plan to make each game theme or subject specific so each round helps to tell the story we want them to learn, like how to be a better leader, manage your office records, keeping your workplace safe, etc. We might also do some just for fun that just support team building.
Hello David, I am so glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. I hope the snacks haven't broken the bank yet!
Can you please send me the template?
now this is creativity at its best..
I'm glad you like it!
Loved this!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
So simplified and easy to understand!
Thanks so much. Very useful in China where so many websites are blocked! And I learned so much about powerpoint!
Thanks for the clear explanation. Excellent work. I subscirbed.
Also, I've built this game the way you've shown for my live UA-cam quizzes, but I wonder if there's a way of doing one more thing...
So if half of the puzzle is solved, and a player thinks they can solve the whole phrase in one more guess rather than continuing to guess single letters I let them have a guess. If they are correct, it would be great if I could hit another button which shows the finished puzzle. Is this possible?
Very very simple and interesting. My students will love it. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Thanks a lot! It was very helpful! And you really make it very easy to follow. I also did the wheel of fortune! It worked wonders!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Elizabeth!
Found this tutorial yesterday, built this game and it's awesome! Just have other questions.. I'd like to add sounds when the pick the correct/wrong letters, is that possible? I also wanted to add like a intro game show sound when the game starts. Is that possible?
God bless you
Great, learned a lot I had no idea PP could do, thanks!!
I'm so glad you liked it. I have quite a few videos like this showing how to do cool stuff in PowerPoint, if you're interested?
Thank you so much!!
Genius! Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Brilliant!
Thank you so much!! I would like twice if I could!
Great video
Great easy to follow video.
How can you add a win image at the end please?
Very good video. How do you increase the text size inside the box??
Very handy! Thx justin.
You're very welcome!
Thank you very much for this amazing idea!
I'm glad you liked it!
Hi, How do you do trigger on a Mac? I have Office 2010 for Mac and don't see the trigger option
Thanks a lot. I've just watched the tutorial and created my own template. I'm gonna use in my class tomorrow.
Good luck! I hope it goes well for you.
HI Great Video. How do you change the text so quickly inside the shape?
This is an awesome tutorial! I just wish it didn't make my powerpoint slow when Im editing it.
This is a great tool as warm up activity! Could you please share how to add background music to make it more fun!
Love this! Is there way to keep score?
This is fantastic, thank you SO much. I'm going to use this for my U3A French Zoom class.
I'm glad you like it. I hope your class goes well.
@@TheTechTrain the class LOVED it, and I've used it several times. And added "cheese" ie sounds . Merci beacoup ! Thank you so much !!
@@heathergaler3429 how did you add sound please?
Thank you very much.
Hello again. How do you know how yo make a bomb that counts down, so if you create a game, the students have a set time on screen?
Justin you are great! My little numbers at the top did not disappear when I went to SlideShow - I know its user error! What have I done wrong?
Thank you, sir! This is very helpful!
I'm so glad you like it!
Wooow THANK YOUUU. never thought it's that easy . thank you
I'm so glad you liked it!
i love it...i'll try to do this in my class.
Glad you liked it!
Hi, I've followed a couple of your tutorials & I think they're great, But............. I'm having a problem at the end when I come to view what I've completed. How do I use the finished PPt ? In this particular tutorial I have duplicated my template in order to try the game, I have added a word - but how do I then get the page where the letters don't appear until I click from the alphabet?.... TIA.
"A little a bit of cheese never hurt anyone....unless you are lactose intolerant" 😅😅😅 Great video and tips! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just watched you on TES Authors train authors so came to watch your channel. I'm no techie but your tutorial was very clear and even I think I can do this. My challenge will start tomorrow whilst I have plenty of time to work from home during lock down! P.S. how do i add the cheesy music?
Hi Sam, thanks for heading over from the TES event, I hope you found it useful. I'm glad you liked the tutorial too. As far as the cheesy music is concerned I do have a paid subscription with audioblocks.com, which provides a wide range of licence free music and sound effects, but I realise that it's not a cheap option. I know there are lots of UA-cam channels offering creative commons licenced music, so you may be able to find something suitable there?
helped a lot🥳thanks for sharin👏👏👏
I'm so glad it helped - thank you for your comment!
WOW SIR it mind broing
Mind blowing or mind boring? I hope you like it!
Good morning, Justin.
I'm an italian music teacher and also a Bible teacher.
I want to congratulate with you for your UA-cam channel and for your videos.
What is very interesting to me is your explanation of how to make a "catch the phrase" game with power point.
Now I explain to you why I'm so interested.
I used to teach the knowledge of Bible verses using a game based on Flash called Hangaroo.
I could use it preparing by myself the Bible phrases to guess for my Bible students.
Starting from 12 January 2021 Windows 10 has completely deleted Adobe Flash Player from my system and I am not able to use Hangaroo anymore.
That's why I'm searching for a similar way to use this method to help my students.
I'm not able to apply what you explain about the use of power point. It goes beyond my ability.
But, may I ask you if you have something to give me that could enable me to do what I used to do with Hangaroo giving me the possibility to put my own Phrases to guess ?
I'll be very thankful if you will be able to help me in my teaching work.
Thank you very musch in advance for your kind reply.
Greetings from Italy
Could you make a tutorial on how to make a Hangman game? Thank you in advance!
Hi! Where can I find those royalty free music?
Easy to follow, simple but very effective. Going to add sound effects as well
I'm glad you found it useful
Thank you! I figure the answer to my question involve a trigger and a transition, but how can you add a trigger to go to the next slide, once the word has been solved?
I was wondering the same thing.
Prepare all slides. Select first slide. Go to Transitions and choose one, add a sound (e.g. camera), duration 2:00secs, check the Advance slide on Mouse Click box. Then "Apply to all". After the first word is solved, click with your mouse and you advance to next slide. Worked for me. Hope it does for you.
Thanks for this lesson. I use Impress but it helped me to figure out how to do it using this software.
Glad it was helpful!
This is great! Unfortunately my letters on the bottom are still showing. Can anyone offer any insight please?
HI, Me again. Love this, I have made it for my classes. I was wondering. Is there a way of making the letter at the top disappear as well as putting the letter in the grid/at the bottom. This would mean that the letters at the top would reduce so you could only see the letters that have not been selected.
Thanks again. I am checking out your other vids to make games for my classes.
@Jonathan Jackson could you share your template i will love to try this in class
A simple way would be to add an exit animation (besides the pre-existing ones) to the buttons and set it to take place "with previous".
AMAZING!
Thank you, I'm so glad you like it!
nice! nicer if you can share the template :)
I love this game! I cannot figure out how to change the empty boxes to a different color than the boxes where the letters of the phrase are placed. Any tips would be helpful!!
Just Shift + click on the boxes you don't need and then change their fill colour using the Shapes menu at the top of the ribbon.
Hi Justin this worked wonderfully except that wheb I played the second slide the letters on bottom were showing. Are you able to help me pls?
This is amazing, I am doing this as a team builder !!! love it !!! I did the wheel of fortune they loved it , thank you ! I cant wait for more !
How to add music and other effects?
How do you make the boxes light and the others dark? Also if the template box was used as a puzzle by mistake, will saving any empty template puzzle work?
I would like to know also all mine are all the same when i put in the letters
Is there a version for Google slides for folks who do not have Microsoft office?
Great video - BUT for some reason after I've done all the animation etc, when I try to 'play' the puzzle nothing shows in the center boxes. I see the letters I've chosen start to appear at the bottom, but all the center boxes remain blank. I've spent HOURS on this and about to cry! Hope someone can help me, I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking, but I've watched video over and over and can't figure out what!!
Without seeing the file it's difficult to know what the problem might be. It's probably something simple. I do offer my Patreons a service which lets them send me files and I take a look to try to fix them, if you're interested?
Hi Justin, where did you get the cheesy intro music from?
Ha ha! I do like my cheesy music. I get most of my audio from audioblocks.com
Can you do this with Google slides please? Tfs
Por gentileza me envie o link deste este jogo, para que eu possa utilizar com meus alunos
Can you please tell me how you can make all the letters appear at once if someone guesses the words before all the letters are revealed. Thank you.
On your slide how did you get the word to show a lighter gray than the non-letter boxes?
want to know too
Sorry, I must have missed this question before. All I did was select the dark gray tiles where the word was going to be placed, and changed the fill colour to match the letter tile fill colour. Hope that helps!
Thanks for this awesome tutorial. I think I did something wrong though. When I finished and put in my own phrase, no matter what letter I pick from the top, the letter A, then B, etc fill in the spaces. Can you help please?
Check to make sure you have named your letter tiles correctly?
@@TheTechTrain Thank you for getting back to me. I just checked them and they're right. I'm confused why it doesn't work.
Thank you. I started over and got it working. Is there a way to copy it into another ppt presentation?
When I start a game, my tiles show at the bottom of the screen. What did I do wrong? Thanks!!!
Check you named those shapes correctly.
I'm having the same problem. Were you able to fix it? What did you do?
Can I create this in Google Slides?
Does anyone have a template of this?
I'll look at publishing a copy either on TES Resources or my Patreon page. When I do I'll add a link in the description.
Why when i click the letter on box not appear?
How can i download this template. Please help
Hi,
Can you please share the template for this. Thanks in advance.

Can you put the power point presentation so i could download it?

great thank you
Can we change the language
My letters will not go on top of my game board?
Can anybody PLEASE help me?!? I've tried so many times, and just can't get middle game tiles to appear when I start game :-(
It's probably the name given to the tiles. Feel free to email it to me and I'll have a quick look.
@@TheTechTrain thank you so much for reply; I start teaching again in 2 weeks and was hoping to show off my new skills lol - what is your email address?
admin@thetechtrain.co.uk
@@TheTechTrain email sent, thank you SO much
I've got your email and can see the problem. I'm just heading out now, but will get back to you either when I get back later tonight, or if I'm a little late I'll do it in the morning.

Sir thank you....

Hello Justin, your explanation is very interesting. I'd like to ask you a question and I tried to write to your email address but I'm not sure if you have received my email. May I ask you to write to me at this address ?
