Easter CategoRace – ESL PowerPoint Vocabulary Game for Classrooms

Make Easter vocabulary practice unforgettable with this no-prep, interactive PowerPoint game. Perfect for ESL/EFL classrooms, Easter CategoRace challenges students to name three words that fit each Easter or Spring-themed category before time runs out – great for vocabulary building, speaking practice, warm-ups, or end-of-term fun.

Teams take turns racing to name words, earn points, and be the first to cross the finish line – all with zero prep on your part. Just download, open in PowerPoint, enable macros, and play!

How it works

• Players have 5 seconds to name 3 words that fit each category – earn 1 point for each correct answer
