NOTE: This resource uses American English and is not editable.
To play, simply select a four-letter word to place in the top of the grid (a list of 84 words, all of which contain only one vowel, is provided). Then students fill in the categories for each letter. For example, if the letter is “C” and the category is “Fictional Characters” two possible answers are: Charlie Bucket or Charlotte. Games can be timed (3 to 10 minutes, depending on the age of your students) or untimed. You can also encourage students to come up with more than one answer for each box. In addition, there is also one blank grid that you or your students can use to come up with your own categories.

My students struggled with coming up with some of the categories, but they loved it. It really made them think. They got so excited when they were able to fill in om=ne of the boxes with an answer.

I transferred the game pages to Jamboard (https://jamboard.google.com/), where my students used words and pictures to answer the questions. A super interactive way to use this game, and my students are always asking to play! Thank you for this game!

The product is great. I prefer being able to assign directly to and from Google classroom. I do not like students having to submit from the TPT site.
