Halloween hangman Interactive Game
By Ms Garcia Store
Hangman Game for Halloween with 20 words to practice spelling, reading, and vocabulary, and have fun at the same time! Ideal for both distance and in-person learning.
Players must guess the letters of the mysterious word one by one. Each time a player suggests a letter, click on it to check if it appears in the word. If it does, all occurrences of that letter in the word will be revealed.
Every time a player guesses a letter incorrectly, a part of the hangman is drawn (the head, body, arms, and legs).
The game ends when the players correctly guess the mysterious word before the hangman drawing is completed or when the entire hangman drawing is completed (indicating that all attempts have been exhausted).
The 20 words to be guessed are as follows:
- Halloween
- Vampire
- Pumpkin
- Trick or treat
- Costume
- Nightmare
- Spooky
- Scary
- Death
- Zombie
- Broomstick
- Phantasm
- Mysterious
- Tombstone
- Superhero
- Haunted house
- Scarecrow
- Graveyard
- Fantasy
- October
I use this game with the whole class as a cooperative learning activity, but you can have them compete in teams or even make a copy for each of your students so they can use it individually on their own devices, or even as a center.
Have fun and learn with this entertaining Halloween resource!
I included two bitmojis of my face, but you can change them to your own bitmoji.

Silabario con 320 sílabas y 5 anchor charts. Escucha, escribe y aprende.
By Ms Garcia Store
El más completo silabario que puedas encontrar, 320 sílabas, diseñado para trabajo en grupo o de forma individual:
126 sílabas directas
80 sílabas inversas
65 sílabas trabadas
41 diptongos e hiatos
8 triptongos
Este silabario interactivo es una presentación de PowerPoint muy intuitiva y facil de usar.
Cada sílaba se muestra sobre las líneas de escritura. A la izquierda se muestran las distintas categorías mencionadas anteriormente para un rápido acceso a cualquiera de elllas. De hacer click en el botón 'menú', accedes al silabario completo. A la derecha de cada sílaba siempre hay tres botones:
En cada uno de estos anchor charts se tiene la opción, no la obligación, de dar al botón de audio para escuchar la lección, muy útil en caso de estar el alumno trabajando por su cuenta.
Sobre la sílaba siempre aparecen los botones de acceso directo a las sílabas familiares a esa sílaba. Así, de estar viendo la sílaba 'me', tendremos los botones de acceso a las sílabas ma, me mi mo y mu, a las que podras acceder con un simple click. De pasar el ratón por encima, sin necesidad de pulsar, podrás oir cómo se dice cualquiera de ellas, o escuchar la secuencia de las cinco sílabas seguidas.
Este silabario interactivo para PowerPoint tiene una segunda versión disponible en el siguiente link: Silabario Interactivo PPTM. Esa otra versión te permite a parte mostrar sílabas en orden aleatorio de entre cualquiera de las categorías o de entre todas ellas. El formato de ese otro archivo es PowerPoint con Macros habilitados (PPTM). Son las Macros las que permiten mostrar las diapositivas de forma aleatoria, pero si no confías en ellas, te ruego que te conformes con esta primera versión del silabario, que está realmente bien .
La realización de este recurso ha sido dura, pero también ha sido gratificante ver el resultado de tan buena herramienta. Espero que la aprecien y que les ayude tanto con sus estudiantes como me está ayudando con los míos.

Este silabario interactivo es una presentación de PowerPoint muy intuitiva y facil de usar.
Cada sílaba se muestra sobre las líneas de escritura.
A la izquierda de la sílaba se muestran las distintas categorías mencionadas anteriormente. Al hacer click sobre estas, las sílabas se mostrarán en orden aleatorio. Mostrándolas aleatoriamente puedes jugar con tus alumnos a que te lean o escriban las sílabas que van apareciendo. De hacer click en el botón 'menú', accedes al silabario completo, donde podrás seleccionar la sílaba que quieras.
A la derecha de cada sílaba siempre hay tres botones:
En cada uno de estos anchor charts se tiene la opción, no la obligación, de dar al botón de audio para escuchar la lección, muy útil en caso de estar el alumno trabajando por su cuenta.

Importante:Este silabario interactivo para PowerPoint tiene Macros que permiten mostrar las diapositivas de forma aleatoria, pero si no confías en ellas, o no estás habituado al uso de este tipo de archivos (pptm), te recomiendo que te conformes con la primera versión del silabario, que es exactamente igual a esta versión salvo por la opción de mostrar las sílabas en orden aleatorio, y no tiene Macros.
La realización de este recurso ha sido dura, pero también ha sido gratificante ver el resultado de tan buena herramienta. Espero que la aprecien y que les ayude tanto con sus estudiantes como me está ayudando con los míos.

Aleatory reading aloud - book room with roulette
By Ms Garcia Store
This resource only works on the newest versions of PowerPoint, these are PowerPoint 365, PowerPoint 19, or higher. It doesn't work on Google Slides.
Do you have extra time in class and you don't know what to do? Do you want to show the students books in a fun way? This is your tool.
It is editable. You can change the bitmoji and the titles of the books, changing their pictures for covers of other books, and changing their links for their corresponding links. You can even create your own reading-aloud videos and link them to the pictures.
How it works
Play the PowerPoint file in presentation mode. You will see a bitmoji (you can put yours) and a text that says "What book are we going to read today? (This question is also editable)
1. Click on the roulette and it will start spinning
2. Click again to stop the roulette. It will show a number from 1 to 12 and 12 book covers.
3. Click on the book that corresponds with the number shown in the roulette
4. Enjoy the read aloud
Books in this set:
- Squids will be squids (21' 36'')
- Actual size (5' 05'')
- Exclamation mark (3'20'')
- The dot (4' 19'')
- Pancho rabbit and the coyote (8' 33'')
- Firefly July (4'31'')

Juego de mesa de Navidad con 94 adivinanzas y acertijos
By Ms Garcia Store
No olvides que este juego de mesa se juega con el modo presentación de PowerPoint.
¿Quién no ama los clásicos juegos de mesa? Esta es una adaptación navideña de uno de ellos. Tira los dados y mueve tu ficha. Intenta ser el primero en llegar exactamente a la casilla 36 y no caer en las bombas ya que te harán retroceder. Si aterrizas al comienzo de las flechas avanzarás muchas casillas. Si aterrizas en el primer sombrero, te llevará al segundo sombrero, pero si aterrizas en el segundo, te llevará de regreso al primero. No es necesario saberse las reglas pues al caer en una de estas casillas se activará automáticamente la animación que mueva tu ficha al lugar que le corresponda.
Pueden jugar de 1 a 4 jugadores o grupos de jugadores. Mi consejo es dividir la clase en 2, 3 o 4 grupos. Después de cada movimiento de la ficha, trata de responde uno de los 94 acertijos que aparecerán aleatoriamente al hacer clic en las cartas de preguntas. Cada grupo dará su respuesta por consenso y el grupo que la acierte, o que más se acerque a su respuesta correcta, será el que continúe el juego tirando los dados nuevamente. Si el acertijo es demasiado difícil para el nivel de su grupo, vuelva a hacer clic en las tarjetas de preguntas y saldrá una nueva.
Los acertijos son editables y, por lo tanto, se pueden cambiar con preguntas de las lecciones que se está dando, pero no elimine los cuadros de texto si no desea eliminar sus animaciones.
Los acertijos para niños pueden:
Mejora la comprensión lectora.
Les ayuda a concentrarse y prestar más atención.
Impulsa la resolución de problemas y el pensamiento crítico.
Fortalece las habilidades y conciencia lingüística.
Promueve el pensamiento analítico y el razonamiento deductivo.
Los acertijos también pueden mejorar el estado de ánimo de tus estudiantes, hacerlos reír y darles una sensación de logro.

No olvides que este juego de mesa se juega en modo de presentación de PowerPoint.
Instrucciones:
Cuando abra el documento por primera vez, se le pedirá que habilite el contenido que está bloqueado por razones de seguridad.

Acéptelo para obtener las diapositivas de los juegos en dicho orden aleatorio.
Instructions:
When you first open the document, you will be prompted to enable content that is blocked for security reasons. That content is nothing more than the Visual Basic code for the question cards button to achieve random riddles order. Please accept it in order to get the slides of the games in random order.
