How to Play

• Students will be secret agents in training and their goal is to diffuse the “training device” in each level.
• For each task, the teacher will say a set of words or sentences.
• Students listen carefully and match the words or sentences they hear to pictures or text on the screen.
• The goal is for students to remember the colors under the pictures they match, as these are the wires they must cut in the same order on the next slide to shut down the device.
• If they cut the wrong wire, they will fail the task and have to try again.
• Students must successfully complete all 10 tasks to pass the final test and become official secret agents!
• You can find additional comments in the notes sections of the PowerPoint that further explain how to play and edit the game.

Variations

• To play as a listening game, use images in the boxes. If you want to add a reading component, use text in the boxes instead.
