Excel questions & answers template
1. Create/load a list of questions/answers (cards generated automatically)Tip: Use Quizlet to find question/answer sets for your coursebook / topic.
2. Print out the cards (First Questions, then insert paper back into the printer and print the answers) and cut them up. Tip: If you only have up to 20 questions, use the 20 question template; if you have a long list of question, use the Randomizer template. Pressing F9 will generate a new set of cards. Tip: also, use the randomizer template to record key language points and to give delayed feedback, so that they could be revised throughout the course
3. Use one of the game boards with your cards. Rules: In order to take their turn, a student needs to answer a question correctly. If they answer the question incorrectly, the card goes back into the stack.
