This is a game that is easy to set up and fun to play. It’s very similar to ‘Articulate’ or ‘Don’t Say a Word’ so it’s interactive and entertaining. All you need to do is print off the cards and cut them up (a 5 minute job) and then it’s ready to play. Once this is done, the cards can be reused for other classes and lessons. My students really enjoy this game. We play with other texts as well and it’s a good break from mind maps and timed essays etc. Rules and how to play all on the document. If you like it, please do leave a review and check out my other resources in my MsLarkinsResources shop. Have fun!
