Quickie:
Partner glves you clues to help you say the word on the screen
Pro Tips:
If your “guessers” can see the screens, givem’ blindfolds
Think through your rules ahead of time: Will you allow partners to “pass” and go try the next word? How much time will each round last? Do you have a “tie-breaker” round prepared?
Supplies:
Screens
PPT
How to Play:
Have at least two teams with two partners on each team. One partner is a “guesser” and can not see the screen with the word on it. The other partner’s job is to give clues to get their partner to guess the word correctly. One team goes first for a certain amount of time to see how many words they can guess within their time limit (2 minutes). Afterward, the other team has two minutes to see how many words they can get. Play as many rounds as you see fit (as long as you have enough words to do it).
Common ground rules:
You can’t use “Rhymes with” as a clue because it makes the game to easy (for example if the word was “refrigerator”, you can’t say rhymes with prefridgerator)
You can’t use the word in the phrase or word they’re trying to guess. For example, if the clue is “Pumpkin Spice Latte” you can’t say a “pumpkin flavored coffee beverage.”
You can’t spell, or say the first letter of the word: “Starts with _” would be against the rules.
You can’t say how many syllables there are.
