Lucky Star Game Show for SMART Board

PBS Kids has a fantastic FREE download for the SMART Board.  Cyberchase is an animated math series from PBS Kids.  Lucky Stars is an interactive game show  that students can play to help them with their math skills. The targeted grade levels are 3-5, but when you download the file, you'll be able to create your own questions so you may find it useful to use at other grade levels. You are able to choose your character and work your way through a series of questions. There is even a "Think Pad" so that students can work out the problems using the pen. When you visit this site, there are directions explaining how to download and then install the file.  What's nice about this is that it actually installs right into SMART Notebook as a Gallery item. Not only do you get the pre-made game but you also get the templates and graphics to create your own.  You could easily use this for review in other subject areas as well and your students are sure to get a kick out of the funny and unique characters that are available.  Use this as a warm activity or for a review session. Split your class up into two teams and create a little friendly competition.  I had no problems downloading and installing and everything seems to be working great, so check it out!
