G-Cubed is a trivia game that a single player (or entire class) can
play against the Garfield character of their choice or with another
online player.
There are five categories of educational content included:
Literature: includes
famous books (both classic and modern children’s
literature) and their characters; authors and their books,
key plot lines, conflicts and resolutions, characters and
their
personalities,
key phrases from a storyline, counting in other languages,
inventors, punctuation, spelling, poetry, vocabulary, grammar,
abbreviations,
acronyms, music, cultural phrases, and famous phrases.
Science: includes space exploration, bodies of water, biology, plant
science, animal science, environment, matter, forces, machines and
work, energy, and sound.
Pop Culture: includes
movies, music, television trivia, classic and modern cartoons
and characters, and world records.
News: includes
famous events and people in history, famous quotations, geography,
social
studies, government, monuments, inventors, the military, wacky
laws, natural disasters, telling time, weather, world records,
and presidential
trivia.
Miscellaneous: includes
a combination of all of the categories above, plus simple math
questions, states and their mascots, health
questions, and other topics not covered by the other sections.
Since there are only five sections, the content in
each is very broad, and you may see some overlapping among the sections
to offer
a measure of surprise to the game. The questions chosen are at the
third-grade level; however, this content will be expanded in the
future to allow for various levels of difficulty. The pop culture,
news, and miscellaneous categories include content that may be challenging
for a number of age levels for the primary grades.
The G-Cubed game presents a number
of opportunities for use in the classroom from free-time activities
to rewards to
students after
completing an assignment or test. It could also present an enjoyable
avenue to test the classroom’s knowledge at the end of a semester
or as a preview to new material that will be presented in areas of
science and literature. Many of the questions present material that
will challenge (or allow you to encourage) the students to research
topics further.
Note that we will be continually adding new content
to these sections, so be sure to check back often!
