Game Features

  • Risk-type review game based in the Avatar world
  • Interactive game map
  • Play with 3-8 teams
  • Printable map guide for teams provided in the downloadable file


How to Play

  • There are four nations: the Air Nomads, the Fire Nation, the Earth Kingdom, and the Water Tribe.
  • Divide your students into the 4 nations and then into 8 teams (2 teams per nation). With smaller class sizes, feel free to take this down to 1 team per nation - whatever you feel will work the best with your class.
  • Each team will get a mini whiteboard, dry erase marker, and an eraser.
  • Before starting the game, each team can select one or two starting locations on the map slide. When they’ve decided, the teacher will change the location’s color to the nation’s color by clicking on the location on the map. Repeated clicks on the same location will cycle through all the nations’ colors. Then, you are ready to start the game!
  • First, a team will choose a letter on the question-choosing slide. It will then take them to a new slide where a question or prompt will be presented. Teams will discuss and write the answer on their boards.
  • The team who holds up the correct answer first gets to attack/invade someone’s else land. The team who holds up the correct answer second is safe from an attack/invasion. Since each nation has 2 teams writing, it’s possible for one nation to get both first and second place which means that nation can attack any other nation they want.
  • The attacking nation chooses a piece of land next to one of their own to invade. If students are having trouble seeing which lands they can invade on the map slide, print out and have them reference the included “Map Guide.”
  • If the land they choose is unoccupied, they automatically take the land, and the teacher changes it to that nation’s color.
  • If the land they choose is occupied by another nation (excluding one that’s safe from an attack), they battle that nation in Rock, Paper, Scissors (one person from each nation stands up). If the attacking nation wins, they take the land from the other nation (the teacher changes its color). If they lose, the defending nation keeps the land (the color remains the same).
  • The team with the most occupied land at the end of the game wins!
  • Further instructions on how to play and edit the game can be found in the notes section of each slide. Also VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you use the in-game hyperlinks to switch between slides - don't click or press the arrow keys or space bar - or you might reset the map and question-choosing slides.


Variations

  • Feel free to adjust the attacking/safety rule. Maybe you play with no safety at all or the first two teams with the correct answer get to attack.
  • If you just want to remain on the map slide throughout the game, you can delete or hide the question slides and just have a list of questions printed out that you will read to the students. This will also allow you to have as many or as little questions as you want.

    We nearly completed the game. My 3rd grade classes absolutely loved this game for their final review before exams. They were getting so excited that they started to run at me with there answer boards. So we had to implement a raising of the boards and all members hands in the air to answer first. Of course we still had to do some additional rounds of rock, paper, scissors to decide the order as they were so fast. They really liked the constant competitiveness of the game and it is there new favourite. - Anon

    I had about half of the questions still left by the end of class, but the students really enjoyed it. Some small fights and arguments did break out, which slowed down the progress. - Anon

    Time includes explaining directions and splitting into teams - didn't use in-game question slides, just read from a printed pre-made list of review questions so it took the whole time and could have gone longer. - Anon

    I used it to review a science unit and it was a great success. We didn't manage to complete the whole map, but my students didn't mind. We started with two subgroups from each nation (3 students per subgroup), but in the end they were grouped by nations (6 students per nation). - Anon

    Great game! Great for review and to fill time. I did change the points system a bit because my school is very low level, and the same groups were answering first every time. So, it made the game boring since the same students got to pick land. I made it to where if both groups answered on a team. They get a piece of land. The first team who answered correctly, had to fight another team (not pick grey land). The second one was still safe. It worked a little better and made the competition go more smoothly. Thank you for the great game! - Anon

    I got through about half the slides, and have to say the kids loved it! To make sure everyone took part, I had the students pass around the mini whiteboard so each round a different person wrote the answer down. Make sure you leave enough time to explain and to do a practice round. I got each of my groups to shout out their group name, for example 'Fire 1' when they wanted to answer and every member of the group had to do it to get the quieter kids involved :) A great game with great visuals! - Anon

    I used this as a 2 day review game. Worked really well and the students loved it so much. To make the game go faster, I had students choose 2 territories to start with rather than 1. Played it from 4th grade to 6th grade. - Anon

    I've played many games with my classes (8-18 students) and this is always the most fun! Great for review. I give them 10 seconds to discuss. I also get students to raise their hands to answer, and raise their fingers for how many times they've answered. Especially for bigger classes, this ensures all of the students get a chance to speak :) - Anon

    This is a great game! I just let the students read a book in their text instead of answer questions, after reading the page in the text they could then attack or invade. They think this is very fun! - Anon

  • Hi!! I tried this game today with my class and it was a complete success. My students loved it, thank you so much for creating so much and sharing it! - LG

  • My students loved this game! Thanks so much for your amazing work :) - Taylor

  • Love the work so much. Thanks for your brilliant efforts :) - Quyen

  • I cant even begin to shape my gratitude for these projects into mere words. I wish I could send you more than a coffee for how much goes into all of these. From all of the teachers I work with, Thank You! - Felix

  • I love this game and my students love it also! I experienced a first that I never anticipated after many times playing the game. One team (air-surprisingly!) had taken over a good chunk of the map and essentially blocked other played into corners where they could only fight air to take over another piece of land. However, air also was always either 1st to answer correctly, or the shielded team. So when other teams finally answered correctly before air, they still couldn't go anywhere because air was shielded. I wasn't too sure what to do so I offered to have the 1st place team play rock paper scissors with the two others to try to take a random one of their pieces of land, even though it wouldn't be right next to it. If air hadn't been dominating so much, I might have just said "oh man you can't do anything, let's move on" but the game was super one sided. Even with this one-off game, the class still had fun. Thank you so much for making such fun games! - Madison
