Review Curriculum with ACTIVstudio Tic Tac Toe!

Interactive Tic Tac Toe

Generation M students are very game oriented. Here are two examples of Tic Tac Toe. Tic Tac Toe One contains a one page board where students drag the x and o after answering oral questions. Tic Tac Toe 12 is a 26 page interactive flipchart which allows the teacher to type questions and answers for students to respond to in order to select a square. When a student answers a question correctly they select their game piece (the small x and o at the bottom of the squares) to reveal the x or the o in the square.

Right click the links above, Save Target As and change the .zip extension to .flp to save these two games. When using Tic Tac Toe 12, save it using a new name once questions and answers are typed so that the template remains intact.
