Based on the classic Blockbusters game, this template is a plenary resource for any topic of any subject. Simply: 1) Create 14 questions 2) Explain the rules: students must get from the left of the game board to the right, choosing any letter they want and answer the question to proceed. 3) Once the question has been answered correctly, click the yellow hexagon to make it flash. 4) If they get it wrong, leave the yellow hexagon in block colour. Students must choose another hexagon to move further. 5) The game is over when they have created a 'path&' from start to finish. Enjoy!
