WordPlexers: Vol 7 Animated Word Puzzles Position Rebus PowerPoint game
This PowerPoint-based game is set up much like Jeopardy, but there are no questions to answer. When you choose that category and amount, a rebus-style animation plays. The students on that team view the looping animation and try to figure out its meaning. They are words, actions and sayings. Some sayings may not be familiar...a great teachable moment!

Teaching style
I use state-of-the-art animation software to create text, characters and so on to inspire class participation. In this "Pixar/Dreamworks" era, I feel I needed to convert some things that are normally on paper over to this medium.
Additional biographical information
My first years as a sub teacher, I was handed "time-filler" sheets. The kids would groan and say, "Why do we have to do these every time a sub comes?" The one activity that really stuck out to me was the word puzzles sheets. These just screamed to be animated! Thus, Wordplexers: Animated Word Puzzles game for PowerPoint was born! The kids absolutely love these! The combination of animation and problem solving along with convergent thinking make these very popular! I have created many volumes of this game and intend of making many more!
