"Word of the Year" turns trending words into a fast guessing game where students pick the right year to avoid elimination!

Details

Youth culture moves fast, but every year, one word rises above the chaos and becomes the snapshot of our collective vibe. That’s where "WORD of the YEAR!" comes in! It's the perfect game that turns cultural moments into competitive fun.

Each round, players are shown a familiar word and three possible years it was "THE" word! They flash 1, 2, or 3 fingers to lock in their guess, which makes it super quick, easy, and perfect for a room full of students who love being playfully competitive.

Guess wrong? You’re out. Guess right? You live to flex your brain one more round. It’s survival of the smartest… or the luckiest.

"WORD of the YEAR!" can be customized to work on stage for a showdown between students or as an all-play where the whole room gets loud. It sparks laughter, teaches something new, and prompts your students to think about how words shape culture and how they shape us. Perfect for youth groups of any size!

This Resource Includes:

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

About this Product
This can be played at any time of year, but it works especially well for a December or January program. You can even give the winner an old school dictionary as a prize!
