General introduction of
the quiz game
I have developed quiz game on Multiplication table
concept using PowerPoint Presentation for grade two learners. This game will
serve as the assessment tool for children’s learning which will help in
checking their understanding of the concepts. Psychologists believed that
students learn better when they learn the concept in the form of play or games.
Learning in the form of play or games activates the interest of learners and
hence more participation in the learning activity. More the active
participation of learners, better the learning will take place.
This Quiz game on Multiplication table will be able to recapitulate student’s learning and help them understand the concepts better.
The following instructions are considered while conducting the quiz game in the class:
Ø Students will read the given instructions clearly and play the quiz game.
Ø Students should think very carefully before choosing the options under each question.
Ø They will not get second chance to attempt the question.
Ø For correct choice of answer will get 10 points and – 5 points for incorrect choice.
Ø The points will be displayed on last slideshow at the end of the quiz game.
Ø The points will reset on clicking “Exit” button in slideshow.
However, students will play the quiz game again and again unless they get all the correct responses after the assessments are graded and recorded.

Tools and Materials
I have used the
PowerPoint Presentation to develop content-based materials that are the Quiz
Game on the Multiplication table. First of all, I have brought the slide master
into the show by clicking on the view option and selecting it. Slide master was
duplicated to develop certain criteria to show the scored points in the Quiz
game. I have selected developer tab from the ribbon and inserted the label in
the slide master to developed scoring platform.
The very interesting
and complicated thing that I found was writing certain codes in view code to
enable the functions to show instant response on clicking the options button in
the Quiz game. It was also to award the points for correct and incorrect answer
alternatively. Finally, I typed the questions and options for the Quiz and created
link to correct and wrong answers using run macro option from action button under insert tab. I
have used 2-D shapes to made few figures related to Quiz game.
Implementation
This Quiz game learning material will be used to review the students learning outcomes. It can be used as assessment tool for all the contents. Since it is kind of very interactive learning activity, this can be included in every possible learning activity. The Quiz game can also be used to conduct house competition and inter classes quiz competition in the school. Such application would be recall for senior and information for junior students in the school.
