See a shape. Write an answer. Match another player. Score points. Simple, fast, and fun!

Details

Do your students think alike? In Same Thing, you'll show your group a simple line drawing. There isn't a right answer—just the answer students think everyone else will write.

Is it a pair of glasses? A bicycle? A crab? A telescope? Everyone writes down what they think the shape looks like, then reveals their answer at the same time.

If another player wrote the same thing, you both score a point!

The challenge isn't being the most creative; it's getting inside everyone else's head. They'll celebrate the perfect matches, laugh at the wildly different answers, and be surprised how often they think exactly the same... or completely differently.

You can play this game with contestants up front, or have your whole group play by breaking them into teams.

This Resource Includes:

  • Complete PowerPoint game file
  • Individual (10 shapes  + instructions) game slides (jpeg files)
  • Title slide (jpeg file)

 

Note from Author

About this Product
The most common way to play is to have players or teams write down their answer. You can do this either with up-front contestants or by breaking your group into teams. If your group is small enough, you don't need teams. Another way to play this is with up-front teams of two and have them shout their answer at the same time (jinx style). This one is a little harder to judge, but it can work if it fits your group better.
