Get ready

  1. Write simple words on slips of paper (animals, foods, objects) and put them in a cup.
  2. Split into two teams if you want to keep score.

How to play

  1. A player draws a slip and reads it silently.
  2. They draw a picture of it on the board. No letters, numbers, or talking allowed.
  3. Their team (or the whole group) calls out guesses.
  4. If someone guesses within 60 seconds, that team earns a point.
  5. Pass the marker to the next artist and keep going.

Tips & variations

  • Let younger kids draw with a partner.
  • Use words from today's lesson for a quick review, like "ark," "sheep," or "boat."
