To guess the 3 words on the screen in order.
-
1. Create 2 teams. Have each team send a Contestant to the front and have them turn their back to the projection (or give out an image to the team and don’t let the guesser see it)
2. Each side will work with a contestant.
3. WHAT’S BEHIND ME? Tell the contestants to stand with their backs to the screen. Show the first slide to the crowd. The crowd will then try to get the contestants to say what is behind them. The crowd can say anything other than the words on the screen. The contestants must say the words that are underlined to get the answer correct. The contestant with the most points at the end wins!
Round 2: Increase Difficulty by having round 2 where players can only say 1 word and then they have to act out the rest
-
ELEMENTARY HACK: Allow an adult volunteer to be the contestant.
Have each team go 1 at a time, if the guessing team does not get it, contestant 2 from the watching team can guess (they should have their back to the projection the whole time)
-
Highlight how players work together and use their creativity
Reflection: Self-Awareness & Social Awareness
