Here's a few that I either made or stole from teachers at my campus! I teach Latin, so some of them are more specific to the Romans, but you can adapt as needed, of course.

Alea Iacta Est - The die is cast and Caesar leads his army into Rome. One random Warrior: Random warrior rolls four d20 on behalf of all warriors to gain 4x XP based on the total of the two highest dice.

Battle Cry - Let's go Warriors! Let's go! - All Warriors: gain 300XP if they stand and lead the class in a school cheer 3x.

Battle Tactics - Warriors develop phalanx defense - All warriors +200XP

Bear Attack - A trainer has lost control of his performing bear and goes after the king! But you, o bravest of souls, heroically stood in harm's way on his behalf. One random player -15HP, +200XP & +200GP

Communist Takeover - Genuine equality means not treating everyone the same, but attending equally to everyone's different needs. The player with the most GP. -100 GP, which is divided among their teammates.

Deal With the Dark One in Disguise - You come across a handsome, well-dressed man who makes you an offer you cannot refuse. One random player. -6HP -6AP +666XP, +66GP

Eruption of Vesuvius - Who would win in a fight? A Roman town of 20,000 or one spicy boi? One random player: -25HP. A wall crumbles and falls on you as you flee the city. You escape with your life, but you are severely injured.

Extinction Level Event - A massive comet has struck a faraway land and your town takes damage from the shockwave. Everyone: HP=10

Grey's Anatomy - A good healer knows their way around the human body. All Healers earn 300 XP if they do the motions and sing Head and Shoulders with GM.

Heads and Tails - Your patient is butt-ugly, and you can't tell if that's his head or his tail-end. One Random Healer: GM flips a coin four times for healer to call on behalf of all healers. All healers gain 100 XP for each correct guess.

Heir to the Emperor - The childless Emperor requires an heir and has chosen to adopt one of your team. One random team: Team must choose one player to be adopted by the Emperor. The heir must sit with the Emperor for the whole class period.

Who is a Little Teapot? - You. You is a Little teapot. One random team: Random team earns 200XP for singing I'm a  little teapot", 100XP more if the team stands and does the motions.

 

Another Latin teacher! And I see that you also use Cambridge.  I am stealing ALL of these.

Hi y'all! I just wanted to mention that you can now share all of your random events in few clicks. 

Simply head over to "Configure Class" (the gear icon at the bottom of the left sidebar), click on "Random Events" and then the blue "Share Settings" button at the top right corner). 

 



One of my students' current favourites is "Random Chain of Events."

Description: The Gods have a sense of humour. 

One random player -10HP. Zeus smites you with a lightning bolt. 

One random player +30AP. Hermes brings you a message which brings you great joy.

One random player: HP=1. Hades brings you to the banks of the River Styx. The boatman takes all but one of your health, but lets you return to the land of the living. 

One random player: +250XP. Athena, the goddess of knowledge, teaches you about the world. 

One random player: +50GP. King Midas pays you a visit. He gives you a golden chalice (which you promptly sell for 50 Gold, because you believe it to be cursed.) 

One random team: You accidentally stare at Medusa and turn to stone. One random team must hold a pose for 3 minutes, remaining perfectly still the entire time. 

Everyone: +1HP, +1GP, +1XP, +1AP. Pan, the half-boy half-goat wood nymph, dances around the class and taunts you.

 

 

Another current favourite that hasn't shown up in a long time for me: 

We're not in Kansas anymore...

A tornado, the likes of which has never been seen on this world, strikes without warning. Your teams are picked up by the winds, tossed around, and scattered to the ends of the lands. All teams lose 2 members, who must then complete a quest to find their way back to the team.

One random player on each team are separated, and lose 2HP from the churning winds. (twice)

Has anyone found a way to delete events? I copied events from one class to another 5 times by accident, so I sometimes end up with the same event multiple times in a week.

Amanda, you can do that pretty easily. Go into settings where you would import new settings and click the pencil next to the one you want to delete. Once you have the edit window open for an event, you can click "Delete Event." You would have to do that for each event as far as I can tell. It might be easier to scrap the class and redo the whole thing as long as it is new and you haven't been working with it for a while. 

This is going to be a lot, but here you go...

Some of the more creative ones I have created are:

Crazy DJ -- Your musical knowledge will determine your fate. -- The game master will play a song that is at least 15 years old. A random player will have to identify the artist OR the song. If the student fails, he/she loses 15 HP; if the student guesses both, he/she gains 250 XP.

Deserving -- You healed a community of fragile, and hairless, cars from rust disease. -- The cars want to thank you for your help by taking you on a joy ride....but they are scared of fast rides.

Deserving #3 -- You save a market of frightened trolls from the evil Princess Union of Death. -- The trolls want to thank you for your help...but first you must give a speech thanking everyone who helped in the battle.

Enchanted Music -- You purchase a cheap music box for a loved one and find a terribly terrific surprise.... --You must a Disney song chosen by the Gamemaster...or reap the terrible consequence

Learned Something New -- You find a lost scroll and read its contents.  When you get back to your group you teach them the ancient wisdom. -- Your group has one minute to tell us different topics we have learned in class in this year.  You will get 20 XP for each topic you can explain (each person needs to say at least one thing).

Opposites -- A strange mushroom jumped into your drink as you took a sip, resulting in odd consequences. -- You must act like a another student in class for one minute.

Air Airplanes -- Who can throw the most accurate paper airplane?  Hit the target and win for your team -- your team will win 200 GP

 

I love your Learned Something New event Brandon!  That's a good way to get students to think about the things they've learned!

I've changed the events quite a bit in my online classes.  They are asynchronous, so I post an event each evening that takes effect the next day.  So obviously, I can't really have them sing a song or anything like that!  

I have a lot that ask them to post a bit about themselves on the general discussion board to create a sense of community.  Like:

  • Where they would like to vacation if time and money were no option
  • What the most exciting or interesting thing they've done was
  • Post a meditation video for stress relief
  • Post a inspirational video, quote, or image
  • Post their favorite recipe

And I have a study blog and a vocab wiki, so many of the events ask them to post there and gain XP or lose a little health if they do not.  

I also have some puzzle solving ones where I will post a Sudoku for XP or give them a link to a digital breakout.  I don't use the breakout one often because those can be very time consuming and they've changed up the site recently.  

I also hide Mana potions and such in my Blackboard site and have events where they have to hunt for them.  And I'm planning to expand on THOSE sorts of events with the Magic card creator to make more options for things for them to find: https://mtgcardsmith.com

Here's a share/import link to my random events for my web class:  https://game.classcraft.com/import/settings/BefyBbPCq47ajthKq 

Again, these are for a totally online class so they have to be asynchronous.  If you teach online, you could import these into your demo class and see if you want to use any of them!

Description: You have all had a hard day at work, battling evil wizards, climbing tall mountains to escape dangerous trolls, and completing your Science and English work!

Name: There be an eruption on that thar mountain

Description: A nearby volcano has erupted ye bunch of bilge rats. The lava is flowing under you!

Effect: One random team cannot touch the ground for the rest of the lesson. If they succeed they gain 200XP. If they touch the ground they lose 10HP. No feet or legs on tables though!

Hi Guys, I have some new events I wanted to share.

A Horrific Patient: All of the healers are doing their annual medical refresh training and they encounter the worst patient ever. He smells, he is mean, and he keeps throwing things at them any time they come close. EFFECT: All healers gain 200 XP for persevering and helping even the most annoying patient.

Anyone Have a Basilisk Fang?: You've stumbled on a Horcrux in the classroom & you must destroy it before it can hurt anyone, but you need a special weapon. EFFECT: One random mage must roll a d20. If they roll a 13 or higher, they destroy the Horcrux and everyone gains 200XP. If they roll below a 13, they fall in battle and no one can save them, then the Horcrux is passed to another random mage. This keeps going until someone destroys the Horcrux!

EAT ME!: Your team finds a cake with a tag that says "EAT ME" on it. You figure, "why not" and everyone eats the cake. You really should be more careful about where your food comes from... EFFECT: The cake drains away all of your AP.

DRINK ME!: You find a potion with a tag that says "DRINK ME" on it. You figure, "why not" and drink it down. The potion converts AP to HP. EFFECT: For every AP spent, players earn 1 HP today only!

Lost in the Labyrinth: Your team has been wandering aimlessly in the Labyrinth for several hours and can't find the exit. When you come to a four-way intersection, you decide to ask the fates for help and start rolling a die to choose your path. One leads to riches. One leads to danger. One leads to a safe exit. One leads back to this same room. EFFECT: rolls a 4 sided die. Roll a 1: team loses 15HP. Roll a 2: team gains 200GP. Roll a 3: team gains 200XP. Roll a 4: roll again.

The Abandoned Equipment Shop: You and a friend are walking in the dark forest and you come across an abandoned equipment shop. Deciding to go inside and check it out, you find some abandoned equipment. After closer inspection, you find that with a little elbow grease, they will shine like new. EFFECT: One random player and a partner of their choosing get one piece of magical equipment of their choice unlocked by the Gamemaster. (student submission)

So I was looking through everyone's posts and trying to figure out how to adapt them to an online class...  Here are some I came up with:

Loose in the Library

If you have more than one favorite, you can just pick the one you think of first or the one you read most recently.

Pot of Gold!
The participating player on each team with the least XP finds a hidden treasure and earns 300 Gold.


Trouble in the Market
The player on each team with the most Gold is pick-pocketed in the market and loses 1/3 of their gold.

Laura, some of those sound like ideas which might work well in a quest as well. I wonder if you could combine some other tools with your random event eg make a funny face, take a picture of yourself and share it either with you or in a discussion on a quest. Maybe you could set a task and the students have to post a response in Flipgrid or something like that.

Hi Adam,

I think you certainly could use those sorts of activities in a quest or with Flipgrid!  

I use Blackboard for my classes and one of my issues is keeping students logging in when they're busy with FTF classes, work, family, and other issues.  So I specifically have students post in discussion boards in Blackboard.  They need to log in to see the event (to BB or to Classcraft) and then they need to log in to BB to complete it.  And hopefully this small action helps them stay engaged with the course when a thousand other things are demanding their attention too.

I'm still figuring out how to use Flipgrid in my class.  I wish it integrated better with Blackboard.   But at the moment, I have assignments where every student has to commit to doing something specific to help their Classcraft team study (like share their chapter notes or a quizlet or host a study session on Zoom or another tool, etc.).  One of the options is to explain a topic using Flipgrid. 

I have students submit ideas to me for random events. This is one of them. It really worked out well and was FUN. 

 

"Rock, Paper, Scissors, DEATH!"

 

Who will be the Ultimate Loser??

 

Two players from each team play a best 2 out of 3 of rock, paper, scissors. The loser plays the loser from another team best 2 out of 3 until we have found the Ultimate Loser who must then fall in battle. 

 

My sentences don't tend to be very punitive. A bit more homework or clean out the recycle bin. Students get so excited when a random event they designed comes up for the class.   

An Attack from Hybern! - Hybern has sent his flying minions to cover our realm in Faebane. The dust of this horrible stone gets in your nose and eyes and nullifies your magic. All Mages lose all of their action points. ***Based on the A Court of Thorns and Roses book series

Corruption in the Court - There are some factions at court that with to overthrow the queen. Do you choose to join them? Your daring might win you XP, but it also might cost you everything! One Random Player: Choose, are you a loyalist or do you wish to join those planning a coup? If you are a loyalist, roll the D20 and the queen will gift you 10X whatever you roll in GP. If you are a rebel, roll the D20 as well. Roll a 15+ and get 30X the roll in GP, roll less than a 15 and fall in battle and lose all of your remaining AP and GP.

Gift of the Summer Court - Tarquin, high lord of the Summer Court, has sent some gifts to our kingdom as thanks for helping them during the attack from Hybern. There are potions aplenty today! All Players: Everyone gets one potion of their choice that will allow them to recover 10HP or 10AP. **Also based on ACOTAR series.

The Dark Elves are at it again! - Alflyse, the queen of Svartalfheim, has sent her Dark Elves to take over our realm. Our warriors and mages were ultimately triumphant, but unfortunately, one member of our court did fall in battle. One random player falls in battle.

Warriors of the Night Court - Illyrian fighters from the Night Court have come to train with the warriors of ours. The Illyrians are ruthless sparring partners and they wear out all of warriors! All warriors are drained of their action points and have some cuts and bruises that need healing too. (-10HP, -50AP) **Based on ACOTAR

Lessons from the Torre Chesme - The greatest healers in the world, those trained by the illustrious Torre Chesme on the Southern Continent have come to educate the healers! All healers are exhausted from their training, but learned so much! (-20AP + 200XP) **Based on Throne of Glass book series

 

 

 

 

 

When I first started using Classcraft in my classroom, this thread was a big help for expanding my list of random events. I would like to return the favor by contributing some of the random events my students and I have created over the year.

I added an Avengers-themed event for my class.

The Snap

Description of the Event: All the Infinity Stones have been collected, and half the universe suffers.

Effect: One person from each team loses half their HP and half their AP.

Since I have usually 4 students per team, I have it select two random players by adding a second effect.

2 new random events of mine (sorry if they have been used or if there are similar ones out there)

1. "Power Up" - One student instantly levels up

2. "Snorer" - Someone's snoring has kept the entire class up all night and they are very very tired.

Applies to: One Random Player

Effect: One Random Player gets to divide their number of badges by ten and draw that many cards from the deck.

(I use this with Credly badges I award for Character Strength accomplishments as well as academic accomplishments. If you don't use collectible cards, you could use another reward.)

Exercises - I think I took this original idea from somewhere else, but I can’t remember who to give credit to. The kids are always asking for more of these. My brother bought me the book Dungeons and Workouts earlier this year and I’ve been using it as inspiration whenever I feel like writing more.
