Middle school - Pictionary game
« on: October 15, 2010, 09:01:22 am »
I made these pictionary lists to play with my kids. I split the class into two teams. One person from each team draws a card and gets two minutes to draw the words on the cards, as many as they can, but you can do it any way you want.  Points for each correct guess.  I assigned two judges out of the students too - they get way too competitive. I tried to make sure that there is at least one easy word on each card.
It worked pretty well and they enjoyed it. Only downside is that they get very noisy!

Thanks for the list of words! They are simple and can be used with different grades. I played it with my grade 3 students and it turned out to be my best lesson with them! They had a lot of fun and so did I!

I made the font bigger and left only one word in each box and then I cut out the boxes and used them as cards.

I divided the class into 4 teams and had one student from each team come to the front. The rest of the class would try to guess the word. Before showing them the words, I gave them three options to represent the word they see, by
a) words (verbally describing the word)
b) drawing
c) action

The grade 3 students enjoyed it a lot but this didn't work as well with the grade 2's!

I'm uploading my version so anyone is welcome to use it. Credits go to Mel123.

I have really low level third graders so I figured I would make it easier on everyone if I included the Korean translation too. Warning: I just used Microsoft Word and Google to translate these. I know some of them are right from my very basic Korean knowledge but I am not sure if they are all correct so you might want to have a co look over them.  :P

Awesome idea about letting the kids decide how they want to get the other students to guess the word, some of my kids hate drawing and some are so shy they wouldnt ever do the acting so this is really helpful.... going to try it with my 2nd graders this week and see how it goes down. thanks!

This is good stuff! I found out that even though I don't have any HS classes, I DO have MS classes this during graduation week. Has anyone tried this with 3 teams? I've 25-30 kids in my MS classes and I'm wondering if that's a better way of splitting them up. Any ideas?
