I am always looking for a new game. I found this one on World Languages Resources (http://wlresources.pbworks.com/w/page/4716419/FrontPage). There is also a Power Point and a SMART Notebook file to use with the game. Here is the author's description of the game:
La bomba
This game can be done in pairs, groups or individually. If you don't want to do this game electronically, you can find pictures of each item and make 25 cards with the pictures and numbers 1-25 on the front.
¡La Bomba!
Here are the points that correspond with the pictures (which will make sense later!). I make a poster of the points but once you and the students memorize them, you don't need the poster as much!
-La estrella: 10 puntos
-La bandera: 2 puntos
-El bote: 5 puntos
-Una bomba: -1 puntos
-Dos bombas: -2 puntos
-La bomba atómica: Lose all points and return to zero
1) You need 25 questions in order to play the game. I use this as a game for review right before tests. Students can also create the questions for you, which gives them more responsibility for the game.
2) After we create the questions, they take out a sheet of paper and number 1-25 for each of the questions. In a 1:1 laptop classroom, I have them use a DyKnow slide.
3) To get the game rolling, I call on someone for a number (1-25). They say the number and then I read one of the questions. If they choose question #1, they should write their answer by #1 on their paper. I give them a minute to think, and consult with their partner or group and then call on someone for the answer.
5) Once the correct answer has been said, you click on the number and reveal the picture (star, bomb, etc.) or move the white square off the picture for the Smart Board version. If a student wrote the correct answer, they add or subtract the amount of points associated
with the picture that is revealed. If they did not have the right answer, they do not gain or lose any points. Yes, they will lose points for correct answers and at times will be in the negative with points! I tell them it is good to lose points. And yes, the atomic bomb takes
them back to zero, even if their answer is correct. This is a good way for them to have a second chance in the middle of the game if they mess up somewhere!
6) I then call on another student, who chooses a number, I ask another question, etc. We go on until all 25 numbers have been revealed. Going over the material this way can sometimes generate questions students have over the material.
7) While we play, I keep track of the numbers (1-25) that have been used and the points as if I had gotten everything correct. At the end, what ever students have the points that I have (for all answer answered correctly), get a prize. Sometimes they memorize where the atomic bomb is so I move the pictures around every few class periods, or each time we play the game. :) Also, keeping track of points is on the honor system.
