#gamification

Create a digital escape room for a unit review using Google Forms. Theme: 'Escape the Mad Scientist's Lab' for a science unit. Structure: 1. Create a Google Form with multiple sections. 2. Set up 'response validation' for each question, so students can only proceed to the next section if they answer correctly. This acts as the 'lock'. 3. The questions are puzzles related to the unit content (e.g., a riddle about mitosis, a coded message with vocabulary words). 4. The final section reveals a 'You Escaped!' message. 5. Use a storyline to connect the puzzles. Share the form with students to complete in small groups. Promotes collaboration, problem-solving, and engagement.

Integrate Classcraft to gamify vocabulary for a 7th-grade ELA class. Setup: 1. Create student accounts (Mages, Warriors, Healers). 2. Define game rules: earn XP (Experience Points) for correct vocabulary quiz answers, lose HP (Health Points) for off-task behavior. 3. Create 'quests' where students use vocabulary words in sentences to defeat a 'monster'. 4. Reward system: students spend GP (Gold Pieces) on real-world privileges (e.g., 5 minutes of free time, listen to music while working). Weekly 'Boss Battle': a challenging vocabulary quiz where students collaborate using their character powers. Track progress on a public leaderboard to foster competition.
