Get ready
- Write simple words on slips of paper (animals, foods, objects) and put them in a cup.
- Split into two teams if you want to keep score.
How to play
- A player draws a slip and reads it silently.
- They draw a picture of it on the board. No letters, numbers, or talking allowed.
- Their team (or the whole group) calls out guesses.
- If someone guesses within 60 seconds, that team earns a point.
- 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."
