AlphaBlitz

☆ Created by Good Golly Games ☆

Think fast, the letters don't last! AlphaBlitz is a fast-paced, interactive PowerPoint category word game where students race to name a word starting with an available letter before the timer runs out. Each letter can only be used once, adding a fun layer of strategy, quick thinking, and vocabulary recall – perfect for ESL/EFL vocabulary practice, warm-ups, or end-of-term fun.

Teams compete to name words, outlast their opponents, and claim the top spot on the scoreboard. Just download, open in PowerPoint, enable macros, and play!
