What educators are saying
My students loved playing this game. It was a great tool for a brain break, especially during ELA. They actually pleaded with me to play it again and again.
My students love these games. I have bought numerous versions and they love to play when we have time.

Description
A cross between Taboo and Charades, this quick and simple game can be used as a brain break! It requires no prep and is very easy to play. All you need is way to project the Google Slides.
Included:
- A Google Slideshow
- 12 word slides for guessing
- 1 editable slide for adding your own words
How to Play:
- Use the editable slide at the end of the slideshow to add your own words if you would like.
- Project the slides on your screen or Smart Board. Make sure you have it in present mode and stay on the first slide.
- There are two roles during the game, the guesser and the describers.
- Choose one student to begin the game as the guesser.
- They will stand beside the screen and will not be allowed to turn to see anything being displayed.
- When you go to slide 3 to begin the game, the describers (the rest of the kids) will describe or act out the word on the slide.
- If a buzz word is said at anytime, the teacher should stop that round by sounding a buzzer or bell of some kind and then moving onto the next slide.
- If the guesser gets the word correct, they get a point for their team. Then, a new guesser can be selected.
Keeping score when students play as one team:
- Use a whiteboard to keep a tally of points. In this scenario, the class can gain points, and the teacher can also gain points.
- For each word that the guesser gets correct, add a point to their team tally.
- For each time a buzz word is said, add a point to the teacher’s tally.
Keeping score when students play on different teams:
- Use a whiteboard to keep a tally of points.
- Each team should send up a guesser for each round.
- The first guesser to get the word correct gets a point for their team.
- If a buzz word is said, all other teams will take the point.
