We've all played games where you give a category, and students have to name things that fit into that category. We've put a new spin that will have them scrambling to think fast, unique, and colossal. 

\r\n\r\n

Colossal Categories: Christmas Edition is a fast-paced game that is adaptable to any size group and can be played with multiple variations. The setup is simple: contestants are given a Christmas-themed category, and they have to write down a word that fits into that category (Example: Reindeer Names: Rudolph, Dasher, Blitzen, etc.). The catch is that they get one point for every letter in their word, and they only have 10 seconds to come up with it. Also, if they use the same word as another contestant, they only get half the points. In the end, whoever has the most points is crowned the winner.

\r\n\r\n

This game can be played in multiple different ways! Here are some ideas for the best ways to maximize it.

\r\n\r\n

• Call up contestants and keep those same ones for the whole game. You can have as many as you'd like. 

\r\n\r\n

Small groups: have the groups work together to come up with answers each round, or have groups send up one volunteer each round (this allows a ton of kids to play the game and keeps it moving nicely). 

\r\n\r\n

• We allowed students to use more than one word for their answers, but they couldn't be descriptive words. So, for food at Christmas dinner, they might write: ""Turkey,"" but they can't write, ""Really tasty turkey.""
