The Great Game Show Challenge!

For Grades 3 to 5

Are your students getting bored with traditional test-prep materials? Are you looking for new ways to challenge your students and make learning fun? Do you want your students to develop important critical thinking skills and address New York State standards? Then this is the project for you!

The Great Game Show Challenge provides your 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade students with multiple opportunities to prepare for the New York State assessments in an engaging and entertaining format. 

Students will answer and write questions that will help them address the New York State standards in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, The Great Game Show Challenge encourages students to direct their own learning through inquiry based methodologies, performance-based activities, and the use of technology and other media.

The Great Game Show Challenge is a simulation in which students are asked to produce their own television game show. As students become involved in all aspects of developing and producing this television program, they will develop critical thinking skills and learn to work as a team in a collaborative environment.

The project is introduced with a letter from the president of Harbor Town Games, Inc. Your class is asked to help develop and produce a television game show based on the popular computer game: Master Guru. Working cooperatively, students will develop the structure and design of the game show, write questions, organize the game show, develop rules, and create a "Home Version" of the game show.

The project consists of a series of activities designed to help your students transform their game show into a reality. Each activity addresses New York State standards and can be adapted to meet specific curriculum content. Students will produce the final game show as the culminating event to this project. Teams of students will play the game, competing "live before a studio audience" as they use the products created throughout the project. This project strives to engage students by appealing to their natural creativity and curiosity. It uses technology to build on a variety of skills and strengths allowing all students to participate enjoy the challenge!
