Note: this is a great way to
break the class randomly into groups by giving each student a square.
Game Rules: Your students
should be broken down into teams. Explain to your
students that there are four categories
and that each of those categories has four of the words in the grid.
Each team will get a point for naming an
additional word in a category that is known or unknown at that time.
Here is how it works in detail. Each
member of a team will postulate a propose a word. Then, a second
teammate will select a second. If the two
words are in the same category their team gains a point. If not the
next team is up. So it is possible if you
listen closely to obtain all the words in a category by random.
At any time after they have added a word, the team may identify the
category for three points.
However if they are wrong their turn ends
When all four words are identified the team must identify the
connection among the words or pass their turn
to the next group in line. When all the teams have had their chance and
fail the category is disclosed.
Usually there is a single word that can connect all of the words in a
category.
Here is an example: turn, 2, tube,
& nit
answer: add a u to them
and they become U turn, U tube, U2,
and Unit
