1 minute guillotine timer

This is a video clip of the 1 minute powerpoint timer I created for team games. The idea is for the teams to come up with a complete set of answers to a number of questions before the timer goes off. The idea is NOT to chop off my head! If this happens, points are deducted!

Thanks to Jim Wright on his site at http://www.interventioncentral.com/timers.php for the 1 minute timer.

You can change the picture if you wish but will need to redo some of the animation. If you choose to do this I suggest that you have a good look at the animation in the powerpoint animation edit box to the right of the screen, and make a note of all the settings before deleting my pic and replacing it.

Here is the video

Update

Here is a Smartboard version of the same idea but without a timer. Click on the red dot to advance the blade down by 1 notch. A time has to get 5 questions correct to finish the job - any wrong answers and they go back to the beginning and the next team have a go.
