100 000 Pyramid Remember the 100 000 pyramid
$100, 000 Pyramid Remember the $100, 000 pyramid? Well, this is pretty much the same thing. On the main pyramid slides, all you do is click on the category boxes and enter a category. Then, go to the appropriate slides to enter your clues. Finally, play the game by starting the slide show from the first pyramid screen. You should have the class split into teams and each team split into guessers and givers. The guessers sit or stand so they cannot see the screen and the givers give clues to help the guessers guess the word or phrase on the screen. If they get it, then they get points. If not, then they can pass, but they cannot go back and guess again. When the clue is done (either because it was guessed or because they passed), simply click anywhere on the screen except the word “Back”. At the end of time (which you decide the length of), simply click “Back” and the game returns to the main pyramid screen. The game is set up for two full rounds and one lightning round. To move to the next round, simply click the round title at the bottom of the screen. The team with the highest point total after the full rounds gets to play the lightning round. In that round, the guessing is the same, but the format is different. Simply click the box labeled “ 1” to begin. If they guess that clue, then click the clue again (in order to click correctly, the pointer must become a hand), and then the box for “ 2”. Continue like that until either time is up or all the clues are guessed. If they successfully answer all the questions in the time allotted, they win! Questions, comments, suggestions?
