Future Tenses Jeopardy PPT Games: 3 Free Games for English Class

What are these future tenses Jeopardy PPT games?

This set has 3 free PowerPoint games, one for each of these tenses: future simple, future continuous and future perfect. Every game opens on a colourful Jeopardy-style board with 5 categories and 5 questions in each category, worth from 100 to 500 points. Students choose a category and a points value, answer the question and win the points. These are classroom games inspired by the quiz-show format.

The 3 future tenses games in this set

• Future Simple: predictions, promises and decisions made at the moment of speaking. I think it will rain tomorrow.
• Future Continuous: actions that will be in progress at a time in the future. This time next week, I will be flying to Paris.
• Future Perfect: actions that will be finished before a time in the future. By 6 pm, I will have finished my homework.

What is on the Jeopardy board?

Each game has the same board: five categories, Fill the gap, Multiple choice, Make a sentence, Fix the error and Change it, with five questions in each, from 100 to 500 points. The tasks change from recognising the right form to producing it, so the board practises the tense in several different ways.

Why revise the future tenses with a Jeopardy game?

Students often use only will for the future, even when another form is better. A game board gives them many short, varied questions, from filling a gap to fixing an error, and the points and the competition keep the whole class paying attention. Because the questions get harder from 100 to 500 points, there is something for weaker and stronger students in every team.

How to play in a large class (40+ students)

No materials are needed. Only the teacher’s computer and projector, and a place on the board to keep the score.

1. Make teams. Each row of desks is a team.
2. Choose a tile. The first team picks a category and a points value.
3. Answer the question. The team has a short time to agree on an answer, and the speaker says it.
4. Score. A correct answer wins the points on the tile. If the answer is wrong, another team can steal the points.
5. Rotate speakers and the choice of tile, so every student and every team gets a turn.

How to use the PPT files

Download the game you need, open it in Microsoft PowerPoint and start the Slide Show (press F5) so the board and its buttons work. Each game has its own tense in the title on the first slide, so there is nothing to set up.
