Turn your Easter lessons into a fun competition! The Easter Alias Game encourages students to think fast, speak clearly, and celebrate the holiday through words and teamwork.
How to Use:
Online:
- Send the cards privately to your students before the game.
- Divide students into teams using breakout rooms.
- In each round, one student (the describer) describes the word without saying it directly, and their team guesses.
- Use an online timer (or share your screen with a timer) to keep rounds timed (30–60 seconds).
- Rotate the speaker after each round.
- Keep score in the main room using a shared whiteboard, or simply announce it after each round.
Offline:
- Print the Alias cards before class.
- Divide the students into small teams (2–5 players).
- One player from the team picks a card and describes the word without saying it directly.
- Set a timer (30–60 seconds) for each round.
- The team guesses as many words as they can within the time limit.
- Rotate players every turn so everyone gets a chance to describe.
- Keep score on the board. Celebrate the winning team with a small prize (like stickers, sweets, or certificates)!
