The movie files in the WATCH and BONUS categories are mp4, so you'll need to install Quicktime on your computer in order to play them properly. It's a free program and won't interfere with anything on your computer, it's just required by Powerpoint to play certain vid files. (https://support.apple.com/downloads/quicktime)

The Korean translation under the KPOP category explanation does not fully explain what's expected of students for that category, it's really just a brief note about how red lyrics are original while black lyrics are translated. I'm pointing this out just in case anyone would like to edit this category.

This version of the game was incredibly rushed, so I was not able to get the Korean translations for the questions under WATCH and BONUS checked by my coteachers. My students seemed to understand them just fine, but you might want to get them looked at by your own coteachers if possible.

Let me know if you come across any issues.

EDIT -- Updated to reduce file size and increase playability. This involved converting shapes and text boxes into images, and then compressing those images. This will prevent a lot of users from making changes to the categories and instructions (sorry) but it reduces the amount of lag in between those slides by a significant degree, so I made the call.

Additional NOTE-- Apparently the song "Candy" as found on LISTEN 6 is a cover by NCT Dream, and the original song is by H.O.T.

I give students credit if they write either group, but you could also just specify that it's the cover (this is the version of the song that's currently charting on melon.com).

It has a nice aesthetic!
I've been playing around with transparencies as well, but up to now decided against because they make everything look too "busy". Your game avoids that.
Also, thanks for including links to the requirements. Very convenient!

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!

I just found a curse word in the intro song, though. I hadn't noticed it up until now because I never take long enough going over the game play for it to play up to that point. More info in the next post so it doesn't get lost to others.

The song on the intro slide has a curse word that I hadn't noticed before now. It occurs at around the 1 minute 2 second mark.

I've reuploaded the ppt with the song censored, but if you don't want to redownload just for that, either crop the song to end right before the curse word, or delete the intro song altogether.

Hey, you! Yeah, you. I freaking love you. 

Thank you so so so much. These are amazing in middle school classes when kids are done their tests.  Its fun to watch the girls absolutely demolish the boys
