No prep needed.
How to Play
Number of Players:
Players: 2 (If a student is alone, the teacher can join.)
Playing:
Decide who will go first.
Players choose one category (for example, foods, animals, colors, shapes, etc.).
The first player says a word that fits the category.
Players take turns saying words.
You can lose in three ways:
If the word does not fit the category.
If you repeat a word that has already been said.
If you cannot think of any words.
You can change the category anytime! Keep playing!
Teachers
Please monitor how the students are categorizing and assist them as needed.
Common Core
