Clicker Games

In an effort to help you find new and interesting ways to use clickers in your classes, we have created a set of clicker games that you can download and customize. The four we have feature pre-built clicker questions and pre-set hyperlinks on the game boards to help run the game. The games are currently set as team competitions with scoring, but they are customizable. You should be able to make the necessary changes to adapt the game to your classroom setting. If you have any questions, please email us at clicker-support@uiowa.edu. Or if you have any suggestions for games, submit them here.

Each of the games is set-up to run in PowerPoint. Two versions are provided: one for Office 2007 and one for Office 2003. If you are running TurningPoint on a Mac, try running the Office 2003 version. If you have any issues, please contact us at Clicker Support. The games are in compressed folders, so make sure to extract the files once you download them.
