The digital version of Participle Adjective Cover Up is slightly different. For this version I inserted a custom script in order to create an additional menu item called "Ending." Students click "Ending," and then "Generate Ending," and a box pops up that says "You rolled -ed," or "You rolled -ing." Students then search the board for a sentence that requires the specified ending to complete it. The student reads the sentence aloud, correctly filling in the blank, and then is able to drag one of his/her X's over the spot to claim it. Here's a short video showing the game in action:
The digital version is played in a similar fashion, but it has a specially coded "Dice" menu added to it. The first student clicks on "Dice" and "Roll Dice," and a window pops up showing a number between 1 and 12. Play then proceeds as described above, with the student checking his/her board to see if the square is available or not and forming a sentence when it is. Covers are the grey X's in the center of the board, which can be dragged and dropped where needed.
Both digital games have been designed and uploaded so the only things that can be moved or edited on the slides are the covers. The words and pictures are all part of the background and cannot be accidentally (or accidentally-on-purpose) deleted or changed. Here's a short video showing the digital version of Present Perfect Cover Up in action: Cover up really is one of the most popular games in my classroom. The use of milk jug lids for covers makes it cheap to make and helps it stand out from other games. The students especially enjoy the element of chance added by the fact they can't control the dice roll and so the first person to take a turn isn't automatically the winner. All of the versions of the games (paper and digital for distance learning) are available in my Teachers Pay Teachers store, just click the photos above or buttons below. Also available are bundles of the paper and digital games at a 25% discount, and a script you can add to Google Slides or Docs to create your own game using a D6 number cube.
