This power pack of four hit games is a win for kicking off the school year! Spread them out over a few weeks or have a Back to School Bash! These proven winners will deliver!

Over Under Back to School: It's time for your group to make some Back to School guesses! Pick one person to be the ""Guesser,"" and bring them up front! For each question displayed on the screen (e.g., how many weeks of school are there in France?), the ""Guesser"" will give their answer. Then, everyone else will decide if they think the ""Guesser"" is over or under the correct answer! They can vote with thumbs up or down, move left or right to vote, or write their answers on paper. Play it to see who gets the most right, or eliminate people as they get it wrong. You could also play it with several people up front, and whoever is closest to the actual answer gets the point. And what if they actually give the right answer? What if they actually know a pencil can draw a line 35 miles long? Then it's like they made the Impossible Shot! It also should trigger some questions on how in the world they knew!

Off the Cuff Back to School: Off the Cuff is going Back to School! And it's exactly that... giving a sixty-second ""off the cuff"" speech with only three seconds of prep, no repetition, and no pauses! Think of it like a verbal hot potato where the one left holding the mic is the winner! In this video-based game, contestants are given a random topic about school, like going to the principal's office, farting in the study hall, or creating the perfect cheer, to try to speak about for sixty seconds without repeating or pausing themselves. If they do pause, their opponent can steal the mic and continue the speech. It can go back and forth several times, and whoever is left holding the mic when the timer hits zero is the winner! This can be individual or team-based (instructions for both included). Includes 12 different topic cues.

Mind Reader Back to School: Are your students mind readers? Put them to the test! Choose a student to join you up front to have his or her mind read. With this fun and interactive screen game, students will try to guess which answer the student up front will choose from the ten multiple-choice questions! Whoever gets the most answers right is crowned the ""Mind Reader!""

Caption Challenge Back to School: In this Back-to-School edition game of ""Caption Challenge,"" you'll find a fun collection of fifteen hilarious and weird photos that students can compete to come up with the best caption and be crowned the Caption Champion! Includes both an in-person version of the game and a version that can be played through Instagram Stories! It can be played all at once, or a few images at a time over several days/meetings.
