Tuesday -- Blind Pictionary
To start the activity, divide the teens into groups of 2 or 3.
One person will be shown an item to draw. They return to their partner(s) and attempt to draw the item with their eyes closed.
Teachers: use this link for drawing ideas
The pair/group of three that guesses correctly first wins a point. Each team can keep track of their own points.
New round - new artist! Take turns drawing and guessing until a total winner has been decided
You can also set a time limit for each round to make the game challenging if you choose
Wednesday -- Sneak Peek Game
Objectives of the game:
Ask your CREW teacher for blank paper and hand out a sheet to every student.
Ask students to get a pencil/pen out
Get students in pairs (NO groups of 3, if someone doesn’t have a partner, a WEB leader can go with them).
Ask students to determine partner A and partner B
USE the Sneak Peek Page for images
Partner A comes up first and looks at the picture that the WEB leader has for 10 seconds. If students need a second look, they can come up and the WEB leader will show them the image again (10 seconds each look)
Partner A then goes and sits with partner and describes the image for their partner to draw.
After a couple minutes WEB leaders show entire class first picture.
Then, it’s partner B’s turn. Partner B comes up and looks at the new image for 10 seconds and then returns and describes the image to their partner.
After they are done drawing, WEB leader, show the entire class the second image.
Thursday -- No WEB Leaders - Bottle Collection Day
Thursdays are a great day for connecting with your class. Below are options you can use to engage in building those connections.
Funny Fill Ins - Use this to create funny stories that students build
Countdown
Letters - Choose letters and build as many words as possible (in 30 seconds -- or extend the time and see how many you can find individually or as a group)
Numbers - Choose small/large numbers and then a target number is given. Use the numbers and operations in any combination to find the target number or get closest to the target number in 30 seconds -- or extend the time and see who can get the target number)
Spot the Difference - trying to spot the differences between 2 photos
Memory Games - Change the size/theme of the game. Create 2/3/4 teams and try to be the group with the best memory
Cards and Board games are always a great way to have students connect without phones.
Introduce different card games each week and create some challenges, competition, and fun on Thursdays! If you need more decks of cards, please let me know, I have a lot to share. (Suggestion: number each deck of cards so when you find a lone ace of hearts on the floor you know which deck of cards it matches with...)
Game suggestions: Go fish, Cheat, Crazy Eights, Slap Jack, Speed, Kings in the Corner, Crib...
