A brand-new "Halloween" edition of one of DYM's top games of 2025!
Your students know the struggle of adding fluff to their essays to reach a page or word count. In Too Many Words, they’ll get a taste of their own medicine! Players will try to identify everyday objects described in the most ridiculously long-winded way possible. The fewer clues they need, the more points they’ll earn.
In this "Halloween" edition, every item is something you would find or experience during Spooky Season.
HOW IT WORKS:
• Divide students into two teams based on grade, gender, birth month, or simply split the room down the middle.
• Call two students to the stage for a face-off (or let the whole team play at once by raising hands)
• For each round, students will be presented with an absurdly wordy description of a simple object.
• Students buzz in by slapping a stool, raising their hands, squeezing a rubber chicken, ringing a bell... or you can just use a buzzer.
• Guess correctly on the first clue to score the maximum number of points. If you need the second or third clues, you'll score fewer and fewer points.
• Keep it rolling: once the round ends, call up two more students.
