Game Features
- Based on the actual Scattergories game, but simplified for language students
- Pre-made categories to play straightaway, but can also edit as needed
- Game worksheet provided in downloadable file
How to Play
- Students play individually, in pairs, or in teams. Each student/pair/team gets a game worksheet.
- First, a number is selected to choose a letter for that round, and the students write that letter in the provided box on their worksheet.
- Then, a picture is chosen to go to a category page.
- Six categories are revealed one by one and explained further if needed. Then, the timer starts (adjustable from 0 to 7min - default is 3min).
- Students try writes down a word for each category within the time limit that begins with the chosen letter.
- Once time is up, students stop writing and you go over each student’s/pair’s/team’s answers.
- Suitable answers that only one student/pair/team wrote get a point. Duplicate answers written by multiple students/pairs/teams are cancelled out and get 0 points.
- Once finished going over all the answers, students write their score for that round in the provided box on their worksheet and a new round begins with a new chosen letter and categories.
- The student/pair/team with the most points at the end of the game wins!
- Further instructions on how to play and edit the game can be found in the notes section of each slide.
