**Gameboard**

Based on a video from YouTube, I learned how to create an interactive gameboard that should be very useful for teachers this time of year who are looking for ways to review content with students. Please enjoy using this Notebook file I created. Hint: As students move their game pieces on the question blocks, they need to tap outside of the box before they move their game piece again. Also, the winner should move their game piece at the upper top of the star and then tap the star to hear the fireworks sound. They can also play the flash file of a fireworks display. If you would like to join my wiki to post content or share how you use SMART, please do.

 * Sheppard Software **

Free educational games, activities, quizzes and articles. If you scroll to the bottom of the home page, you will get recommended content broken down by level. The content is developed mainly at the elementary level but there is some higher level content.


 * Real-Life Math Game - Buy a Car **

From the Smart Exchange, one of my math teachers found this game and really like it for basic Math. I also thought it would work for my Driver's Ed teacher to use with his classes. The game was created and posted to the SMART Exchange by an 8th grade Math teacher, Sarah Gunn.



I suggest you read the dilemma cards BEFORE using with students. You may want to alter the cards based on your individual preferences. Some scenarios may be inappropriate for the content you teach; others may be controversial. Always check content for appropriateness.


 * Whack-A-Mole **

One of my teachers downloaded the Whack-A-Mole game from the SMART Exchange website to use for SOL review. BUT, she wanted it to be more interactive for the students. I added TEQSmart's Trashcan and labeled it Try Again Trash. Then I created links from answers for Try Again or Correct. Take a look at the file. Feel free to adapt it to your own uses.Just remember to change links to the Try Again and Correct Answer pages for each of your question pages.
