Pyramid Power Game:
This is a hangman type game in which the students read hint and attempt to discover the mystery word, one letter at a time. Students will click on the pyramid to start the game and to revel the hint and number of spaces for the mystery word. After reading the hint, the students will click on a letter that they think is in the mystery word.
-
Clicking on a correct letter causes the letter to appear in the blank spaces of the mystery word. Guessing all the right letters will cause the Pyramid to take flight!
-
Clicking on a wrong letter causes one Pyramid food group to change. A warning will appear. Too many wrong letters will destroy the pyramid and end the game.
