Typhoon is mainly a review game that I heard about from other teachers. There's a grid of questions where a student from a group picks a square to which there will be a question to answer and a corresponding point awarded if correct. However under some of the squares there could be the word "TYPHOON" which allows a team to choose another team to lose all their points.
To be honest I haven't even played this game yet but I know my students will probably like this as they liked a similar game that was found on
www.eatyourkimchi.com called "Kaboom!"
I decided to make my own ppt template and it took quite a while to figure out the animations! If you want to change the # of Typhoons, point denominations etc, you can move the Typhoon icons around and write in the text box under them. Be careful when moving stuff around as all of the Typhoon icons and individual square names (A1, A2) are to be together at all times or else the animations will get out of order!
Oh right now the Typhoons are under: A3, B1, B5, C3, D1, and E1
Now to make up the corresponding questions!
