![]() I choose categories randomly such as: Animal, Food, Transport, Place, Thing, adjective, Verb* Take a half sheet of paper and make 5- 7 categories. ![]() Now I don’t know what this game is called but if you can think up something better or know the original name, please let me know. One of my favorite games last year was a Spanish game I stole, er, borrowed and made it my own. I’ve been thinking about the variety of lessons and activities I tried last year- what worked, what didn’t -and my lack of having a list because Teaching English was only going to be a year gig. Some days I can see myself teaching for the long-term but alas. I like being in front of the class, I like improvising and I like how everyday and every class is different. From what it seems I’ll collaborate with the teacher before class or during a prep hour and then “be the teacher” while the teacher sits amongst the students. My time is divided between 5 English teachers and I’m mostly with the 16-18 year old students since the lower levels they tell me are very low and that’s their reason for only scheduling me for 9 hours. I have nine classes, though I’m suppose to work 12. Last year, I had my own classroom and was responsible for preparing all the lessons and activities and this year, I’m assisting or rather teaching with another teacher. This year I’m going to make a tried and true effort to learn my students names and utilize the handy-dandy photo list of all my students in my 9 classes. I’m back in the classroom (as of last week) and am quickly learning students names and getting to know teachers whom I’m working with. Note: Like the version above, you can choose to give two points for double letter words like “candy cane” for the letter C.If you try this activity, I’d love to hear how it goes for you- good, bad, suggestions etc. Whoever got the most unique words wins the game. You get a point for each word that no other player used. When the timer beeps, each player shares their answers. Try to choose unique words that no one else will think of.Ĥ. Write down as many Christmas words as you can think of from A-Z. (For younger children, set the timer for longer.)ģ. ![]() Set the timer for 3-8 minutes, depending on the age of the players. If you are helping out in a classroom Christmas party, this version works great for the younger grades! SIMPLE CHRISTMAS ALPHABET SCATTERGORIES (without dice)ġ.Print out the alphabet page and give every player a copy.Ģ. There are no categories for the words, just think of any Christmas related word for each letter of the alphabet. ![]() If you are playing with younger children, this version is a little easier. You can play whichever version works best for you! PRINTABLE CHRISTMAS SCATTERGORIES GAME (traditional rules) That’s the way I played it growing up, and while it is a little more challenging, I think it’s more fun.īut I am also including a more simple version where everyone has one list and has to think of an item for every letter, anything goes. My favorite way to play Scattergories is the traditional way with a huge alphabet dice and different lists of categories. (Didn’t quite get it done in time for 2019, but I’ll have it ready next year!) I finished the one with a Christmas theme first, but I’m working on a Thanksgiving version as well. I have loved Scattergories since I was a teenager, so I thought it would be fun to come up with some holiday versions. Another one of our favorites is Don’t Eat Santa. We love playing games together over the Christmas break. Christmas Scattergories – this free printable game is fun for family game night, and is also a perfect group game for Christmas parties!
