Game Features
- Imagery and gameplay based on the actual Connect 4 game
- Easily correct mistakes or reset the board
- Minimal prep work and simple game mechanics
- Play as a reading or speaking game
How to Play
- Split your class into 2 teams: Yellow and Red.
- To drop their colored puck in a slot, a student/team says the target vocabulary or expression in the white box of row they choose.
- The teacher then clicks the team’s corresponding button above the white box to drop their puck.
- Then, it’s the other team’s turn.
- Teams keep taking turns until one team gets four pucks of the same color in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. That team wins the game.
- Further instructions on how to play and edit the game can be found in the notes section of each slide.
Variations
- To play as a speaking game, use images in the boxes. To play as a reading game, use letters/words/sentences in the boxes.
- If using as a warm-up activity, I usually just play one round. If I’m trying to take up more time, I count each win as a point, and the team with the most points when time is up wins the whole game.
