How to Play

Give each student a worksheet.
When the music starts, students must choose one of four corners in the classroom and go to it. When the music stops, time is up, and students can’t change their choice.
First, one by one, each corner of students will say their letter/word/sentence together.
Then, the teacher will reveal which corner got the good reward (1-3 points) and which corner got the bad reward (attacked by Dr. Eggman).
Students who are in the corner that got points mark them on their worksheets.
Students who are in the corner that got attacked do a Rock, Paper, Scissors battle against the teacher! (You choose how you want to format the RPS game. I usually play against all students in the corner at the same time, but feel free to do one by one as well.)
If a student wins the battle against the teacher, they stay standing, but if a student loses the battle, they go back to their seat.
Sitting students are not able to get points, but they have a chance to get back into the game. Instead of going to corner to choose it, they write the letter/word/sentence of the corner they choose on their worksheet.
If the corner the sitting student chooses gets rings/points, they can stand back up and come back into the game.
The student with the most points at the end of the game wins!

Variations

To play as a speaking game, use images instead of text in the boxes. A template for this version is also included as hidden slides at the end of the PowerPoint. Further in instructions on how to play and edit this version are found in the "notes" section of the PowerPoint.

(comments and runtimes from the previous version of my site)

Students: 24 | Time: 25min | Skill Focus: Writing | Finished Game? 🟢
Consisted of 3rd and 4th graders. I use the word and picture version. I had all the students pick a corner and then write the word on their worksheet. I then asked each corner to say their word. I then revealed who got rings and who got attacked. The people who got rings got those amount of points. (3 rings=3 points) The people that were attacked just lost 1 point. I did not do paper rock, scissors or have students sit down when they were attacked. Just used a point system. Person with the most points at the end wins! - Anon

I did the writing version of the game. I had the students pick a corner and write that in their notebooks. The students read the word/sentence they wrote. The number attacked by the Eggman was out for 1 round and back in the next. I did not do the RPS. The student with the most points at the end of the game, won. - Anon
Thanks so much for another great game! I really like how this one involves all the students even after they are 'out' of the main game so it keeps everyone engaged and busy. My students seemed to like it too, especially the rock paper scissors element. My only caveat for any other teachers thinking of playing is the explanation is (by necessity!) a little complicated - I don't have a coteacher and try not to use Korean in the classroom but this is one of those where a little goes a long way to help the kids get what's going on (a lot of them kept trying to write the sentences while they were standing up, or not writing them while they were sitting down because they didn't really listen to/understand the instructions). Not a criticism by any means - the complexity is this game's strong point as mentioned! Just a heads-up for anyone else who lacks coteacher support, especially in elementary (I've played with sixth grade, and going to try it with fifth but with the instruction slides in Korean)^^ - Claire
God bless you for these games Tayler, seriously! Also, the nostalgia of this music. Wow did I smile :D - Denise
Bless you Tayler for including the picture + text option with this game, you're the best, really!! I was so happy when I saw this was a third option :) - Elani
I just finished playing this game with my students. I tried playing this with my 7th grade students and they got really excited. Instead of reading or speaking, I kind of mixed them together. I placed a keyword on each corner and had them write a sentence that includes the keyword. The kids had to construct a sentence together but at the end of the game only the highest pointers win. Also, they love doing RPS.
Thank you so much for this. I really love your games. - Risa
