![]() Here’s how to set this up on a computer: Go into your “screen share” option at the bottom of Zoom, and select “whiteboard” and “share”. This requires you to use the drawing feature on Zoom, which also requires quite a bit of set up beforehand (or just whenever you have very few students in the Zoom meeting with you). ![]() If team A does guess before a minute is up, then their team gets to go again. If team A’s representative doesn’t guess within a minute, then the turn switches to team B. The way to make this competitive would be to time how long it takes each person individually to guess OR, put people onto teams. Then, once they have guessed, you move to the next person. You can get the word to the large group by privately messaging everyone individually, OR by writing it down and showing it on your screen while the person who is “it” closes their eyes. One person is “it” while everyone else acts out a word. The person who is closest wins, and gets to describe their hidden item next. (Nothing too familiar, but something that is mildly obscure.) Then, each person takes a turn describing their hidden item while everyone else tries to draw it from their description they give. Have everyone grab a piece of paper, and also some random object from their house. How would you make this game better? Let us know in the comments! #5 PARTNERS IN PEN Usually, Rock, Paper, Scissors is an intro game to something bigger, so keep that in mind. 1, 2, 3, GO!”) You could have students find a piece of paper, a rock, and some scissors to make this a little more interactive.

This is great to learn about your group, but also for your kids to feel connected to each other. Everyone then has to vote who they think it belongs to. This is simple simple! Everyone privately messages the host a secret fact about themselves, and then the host shares them one by one. Then, when everyone wakes up, you can unmute them and let the fun begin! #3 TRUE FACTS You can mute everyone so that there isn’t any sound except for your voice, and then each student can privately message their answers to you (who the mafia wants to kill, who the doctor wants to save, who the sheriff accuses, and so on…). Then, you can privately message each student their role. ![]() In the Zoom modification, you will (as the host) randomly select students’ roles either with an actual deck of cards, or with whatever method you choose. ![]() (If you’ve NEVER played, here are the general rules: ) You will always have civilians, a mafia, a doctor, and a sheriff. This game has always been a blast, and has never required us to be together, but it does need a few changes to use with Zoom. Then the person who was it shows their object, and you can keep points on how many people were right or wrong about the person lying or telling the truth. Everyone else holds up either a “thumbs up” for telling the truth or a “thumbs down” for lying. ![]() Then, each person will take a turn describing their object (either lying or telling the truth – they decide). The Zoom modification is that each person who comes to your Zoom meeting would bring the “weirdest” thing they can find in their house and keep it out of sight of their camera.
