Add some more fun and competition to your classroom with this fully interactive teaching tool based on the 1980s/90s gameshow Blockbusters! The aim is for each team/individual to answer enough questions correctly to create a ‘block’ of lines from either top/bottom or left/right.
Once in presentation mode, the game is fully animated and interactive to change the colour of each block into the colours of the teams.
I have included three different versions of the game to better suit widescreen or standard computer screens as well as a fully editable teacher answer sheet on which you can type out the questions you want to ask. All you need to do is add your own questions and letters and away you go.
Have fun!!!
