How to Play:
Bring two people up front. Give them a topic. They must take turns naming one thing that fits the category. You can judge whether or not their word fits the category. Whoever says the last word at the end of 45 seconds wins. If someone repeats a word, they automatically lose. If someone says something that doesn't count for their category, they automatically lose.
For example, if the category is "Animals" then each student must take turns naming an animal (they cannot repeat themselves or their opponents).
Student A: "Bear"
Student B: "Monkey"
Student A: "Whale"
Student B: "Shark"
