Come take a break from all the craziness of life and school and have a good time with new friends! This class is to give students a chance to have fun with their peers by playing different games each week. Students will get to choose which games we will play each week. This class is meant to be fun and light-hearted and give students a chance to socialize and have fun with others their age.

Game ideas will include:
1. Scattergories: Students are given a list of categories and a letter of the alphabet. They must create a list of words based on each prompt using the letter given. Earn points by having the most unique answers!
2. Skribbl.io* - Just like Pictionary. *Students will be given a link to a separate website than Outschool to play this game*. Each student takes turns choosing one word from a choice of 3 words, and starts drawing! Everyone else in the game room types their guesses and tries to guess the word first! The first person to guess the word gets the most points each round. The drawer also gets points when each player (or all players) guesses their word. The person with the most points at the end of all the rounds is the winner!
3. Taboo - Students will be split into 2 teams. Each student takes a turn trying to get their team to guess the word on the card without saying the buzz words (students will receive this information in a private chat from the teacher on zoom).
4. Word Find - Make/write as many words as you can from one (or two) longer word(s).
5. Drawception - An online version of Telestrations. This game combines Pictionary with Telephone. Each student receives a word or phrase and starts by drawing that word or phrase. The next student looks only at the drawing and then makes their guess (like Pictionary). The next student uses this new word/phrase guess to draw THEIR picture for the next student to guess. On and on, until the final round. See whose comes the closest to the original word/phrase!
6. Never Have I Ever - This game is a great way for students to get to know each other. Everybody holds up 5-10 fingers. Every time someone states "Never have I ever ...." if you HAVE done this thing, you have to put one finger down. The winner is the last one with fingers still up. 
7. Name, Place, Animal, Thing - This game is similar to Scattergories, but faster-paced. A letter will be randomly chosen, and each player must come up with a famous person's name, a place, an animal, and thing (object) that starts with that one letter. The first person to submit their answer wins.
8. Yes or No? - Each student will receive a word (can be a person, place, or thing) privately. All other members will have to ask yes or no questions to try and figure out what word they received. Be the first to guess the correct answer!
9. Kahoot Trivia* - Test your knowledge on some random facts! See how many trivia questions you can answer correctly!
10. Classic MadLibs - Create silly stories by filling in the blanks!
11. Classic Pictionary - Split into 2 teams, students will take turns drawing pictures from words given by the teacher and hope their teammates can guess their word for points!
12. Charades - Students will be split into 2 teams or teams of 2. Each player will be given a word to act out to get their teammates to guess the word!
13. Boggle - Using the letters showing on the game piece, students create as many words as they can. The player who comes up with the most words wins!
14. Letter Scavenger Hunt - Whether it's all 26 letters in the alphabet, or just a handful, students will go off on a scavenger hunt for a set amount of time finding things that begin with each letter! The person who finds the most items wins!
15. Five Things - Students will be given a category and have to come up with a list of 5 things that are related to the topic.
16. Emoji Guessing Game - Students will be given a category (movies, song titles, book titles, etc.) and a list of emoji sequences. They can work together or alone to try and figure out the titles/names based on the sequence of emojis. 
17. Read My Lips! - Each student will come up with a phrase. When it is their turn, they must mute their microphone and slowly say the phrase into the camera. Everyone else must guess what they are saying based on their lip movements.
18. Mad Gab - Split into 2 teams or teams of 2, students will be given gibberish phrases to read aloud to their teammates or partners to have them try to guess the ACTUAL phrase.

Come to have fun, make new friends, and play some really fun games!
