A QUICK LOOK AT KNOCKOUT™ & HOW IT IS PLAYED
1 – Divide your class into 2 single file lines
2 – Display the first slide
3 – The player at the front of his/her line faces off against the player from the other team: the first player to answer his/her question correctly wins and returns to the end of the line!
4 – The player who does not win goes to sit on the team “bench” to cheer on the team!
✋ BUT WAIT: That’s not all.
If a player faces these slides, the following could happen:
✅ Double Free Pass: Both players automatically get to stay in the game!
✅ Double Knockout™: Both players are automatically out!
✅ Knockout™/Free Pass: One player leaves, one stays!
✅ Pick a Pal: Choose a player from the bench to return to the game!

My students were completely engaged with this fun game! It provided great practice and exposure to sounds in words and the teamwork was great to see. The students constantly ask me to play again and again.

My students absolutely love playing the Knockout games and learning about phonics rules can be overwhelming but this resource makes it fun.

I wish there was an option to rate student engagement beyond “extremely engaged”, because when I tell you my students are obsessed with Knockout, it is not an exaggeration. They request playing it at least 3 times per day, and is so much fun! Sometimes I don’t even think they realize that it is educational!!
