8th Grade For All Subjects PowerPoint Presentations

Bring some seasonal fun into your classroom with Oops! Autumn Edition, a taboo-like game designed to challenge students' vocabulary while keeping them engaged. This interactive game will boost team collaboration, communication, and critical thinking—all while having fun! Perfect for middle school and high school students, this fall-themed activity is ideal for classroom warm-ups, brain breaks, or seasonal events.

Objective of Oops:
In this game, students work together to guess a word while avoiding specific "Oopsies" (taboo words). The clue giver provides hints without saying any of the "Oopsies," while the guesser has one minute to guess the word based on the given clues. If the clue giver says an "Oopsie," they lose a point!

What's Included:

• Teachers Guide with step-by-step instructions on how to play
• PDF Version of the game featuring a clickable game selection board and a return-to-board button on every "Oops" card
• Printable Game Tracking Sheet to keep track of points and rounds
• Online Game Versions with timers:
  • 40-second timer version
  • 1-minute timer version

How It Works:
Players pick a number from the game selection board to reveal a word and the associated "Oopsies." The clue giver describes the word without using any of the "Oopsies," while the guesser, seated with their back to the screen, tries to figure it out. You can easily track scores using the provided tracking sheet. After the set time, the next team takes a turn.

Why You'll Love It:

• No Prep Needed – Just download and play!
• Interactive and Engaging – Perfect for building vocabulary and teamwork skills.
• Seasonal Fun – Add an autumn twist to your classroom activities.

Get ready to hear your students laugh, learn, and compete in this engaging game. Great for autumn-themed lessons, Thanksgiving prep, or classroom celebrations!

This resource is perfect for you if you know you don’t have the time to format, design, link, and animate a game board but you want to quickly create customizable review games that align with what you’re teaching.

*********************************************************

WHY BUY THIS?

Aren’t we all a little more engaged when material is presented to us in a fun way? Turning a simple worksheet or practice test into a review game captures students’ attention and increases their motivation to participate. If your classroom is anything like mine, you know that behavior problems are minimal when student engagement is high. 

With this customizable game board, you can turn any worksheet, practice test, or topic into an irresistible game that students are begging you to play.

I know it can be nearly impossible to find pre made review games that perfectly align with your curriculum.  

Let’s say you're a 4th-grade teacher using the Bridges math curriculum and want to review for the unit 3 math test at the end of the week. 

The odds of finding a review game for this specific test on TeachShare are pretty slim, so save the time spent searching for something and create a game yourself. 

This editable template allows you to create a jeopardy-style review game to match exactly what you want students to learn and practice. Just divide the material into the main categories and input the questions and answers into the game board. BOOM, it’s ready to play! 

I’ve even included a question planning template and step-by-step instructions to make the planning process even easier for you!

The options are endless. Create as many different games as you want and play them for years to come.
