Balderdash game to develop vocabulary

An educational and fun balderdash class game that will get students excited about vocabulary.
How to play:
Split the class into groups of three - four. Give each group a stack of cards to use throughout the game.
Start up the PPT - the first word will come up. Select the two minute timer and tell them to try to think of a definition for the word… once the timer is up, they must give in a card with their description. Read out all the ‘definitions’, including the correct meaning.
The students then have one minute on the second timer to select a definition. once they’ve all chosen, award the relevant teams their points - one point if their definition was chosen, two if they chose the correct one.
Then click the ‘answer’ button to reveal the correct definition. Students now have two minutes on the timer to write a sentence in their exercise books using the new word.
This game is a lot of fun - the wackier their definitions, the more entertaining - and teaches them new words they can use in their writing.
To make it more fun, you can give them ‘clues’ as to the meaning - ‘Your class is sometimes loquacious’ / ‘You may describe your ________ as pugnacious’ etc.
