Game Day is here! Pick a game to try from three styles: tech-free, digital, or NYT-inspired.
Just a few required items. Easy prep.
A set of comprehension questions and solo cups are all you'll need! Each time a team gets a question right, they add a cup to their tower. Tallest tower wins. Set a 30-second timer for each round after round 4 to limit build time!

Students respond to comprehension questions with a strict constraint: the answer must contain the exact number of words determined by a roll of two dice by the teacher. Sometimes they have to do so in as little as two words!

Gamify any subject by drawing a foot on the board & covering it with sticky notes that hide points or 'stinky' traps. Teams take turns answering questions, but they must get the answer right to peel a note and discover what it does to their score!
