I'd like to share this dice because it keeps students engaged and makes PowerPoint games more interesting. I use lots of effects to make games that look like the "real" thing and always look for new things and ideas. 



I'm done with worksheets because I only have online students now and they are useless in online classes, but PowerPoint makes my classes more interesting and effective, that's why I prepare and share them here.



This ppt contains a complete tutorial on how I made this dice, and also contains a rolling dice with buttons to play and stop it.



Hope this keeps your students engaged and helps you to prepare your own game.



Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Self-made random rolling dice (and how to create yours)

This presentation is great for learning containers (a bar of; a packet of, a can of, a tin of...); also a revision of

Simple Past Tense Question Game

A funny game for kids who learn words related to weather.







You need to print the board game, and you can print counters and dice for the game too.







How to play:







-Each player puts their counter on the space that says 'start'.



-Take it in turns to roll the dice. Move your counter forward the number of spaces shown on the dice.



-If your counter lands at the bottom of a ladder, you can move up to the top of the ladder.



-If your counter lands on the head of a snake, you must slide down to the bottom of the snake.



-The first player to get to the space that says 'finish' is the winner.



If you are on the space with the picture related to weather, you must name it. If your answer is not correct you have to move back to the space "start"

Game "Snakes and Ladders" - Weather

I made 30 questions about board, card, tabletop, and dice games. If the students don't know what some of the games are you can explain them. Then have them explain some games from their country that you've never heard of. 

GAMES Conversation Questions

This is an easy board game I made to reinforce/revise basic vocabulary (especially numbers) with my kindergarten class  (5 y-olds), but I think it could be suitable for grade 1 kids as well. They just roll the dice (I made one with numbers 1,2,3 only so the game would last a bit longer!), move their pawn and then follow the instructions on the board. As my 5 y-olds can't read yet, I did this for them. If they answer correctly, they stay where they are; if they don't, they have to move back to where they were. It's then the next kid's turn. The game takes about 10 minutes.

Board Game: Colours, Animals, Numbers 1-10

The children roll a dice, then the teacher clicks on the nuber (1-6) The child can get 1-2 points for a correct/almost correct sentence. When all the numbers from the page were used, you can move to the next ones. There are 5 rounds. !Works correctly on PCs, my tablet just keeps sending me to the main menu whenever I try to click on the number

Make a past simple sentence game

This ppt is designed around film genres and shows various audience reactions to films. Students have to guess the right genre for the right sentence.

I usually spit the class into two teams and use a giant dice to award points (when a team makes a correct sentence they roll the dice and I award them that number of points)

I encourage students to say the full sentence and have the class repeat.



The 6 genres covered are horror, comedy, sci-fi, romance, action, musical.

What kind of film are they watching?

I used the smaller boxes as cards, that I cut out, and used for various games and activities (board games, spinner games, dice games etc.) The larger box worksheets were made for the students to do as homework to review.
