Have a few words written down to show the student.
Set a timer up for 30 seconds.
Chalk
Stopwatch
Speaking
Call one student up from the first team.
Show them a word and let them think for a few seconds of how to explain it without saying the word.Â
Start the timer at 60 seconds.Â
They can tell the students in their team sentences to try describe who or what they are.
When the students in their team guess what the word is, stop the timer.
The team gets how many points are left on the timer, 23 seconds left is 23 points.
Call someone up from the next team and repeat with a new word.
6-16
10 - 15 minutes
Reduce the timer to 45 seconds to increase the urgency and challenge.
Award extra points for particularly creative or detailed descriptions to encourage more elaborate explanations.
Implement a penalty for incorrect guesses or excessive hints that reduces the points awarded, adding a strategic element.
