H,

This is a bit rough, but I’ll clean it up soon.

Did a virtual hunt for things with the letters AWANA for virtual games tonight. So I’m out of ideas. Need games to play on Zoom that the kids up and moving a little, cubbies-T&T.

Here are some I found. So far the Scavenger Hunt and Quick Draw are huge hits!

TRUE FACTS
This is simple simple! Everyone privately messages the host a secret fact about themselves, and then the host shares them one by one. Everyone then has to vote who they think it belongs to. See if your students can fool the others! This is great to learn about your group, but also for your kids to feel connected to each other.

SHOW & TELL (sparks)

QUICK DRAW
The leader names a person, place or thing for kids to draw in 10 seconds. Whoever draws the leader’s item best wins and chooses the next item for others to draw.

FANTABULOUS
Online version of Taboo can be played while on Zoom. PlayTaboo.com

Would you Rather
A quick game of Would you Rather is a great way to start or even end a Zoom call with your class. Students can vote which they would rather do by assigning a number to each item. The students can hold up a 1 or a 2 with their fingers to give their answers. You can find lists on Pinterest or just Google it.

Kahoot
Students love playing Kahoot at school so why not play it on Zoom? To do this, you will need to log into your Kahoot account and find your Kahoot to host. Then, connect to Zoom and make sure the webcam, microphone, and speaker are turned on. Next, click play to launch the kahoot so the lobby is showing with the game PIN. After that, share your screen, so those joining can all see the game PIN. Finally, host the Kahoot as usual, taking care to not speak over the music that plays during the timer countdown – you can either: wait until the final answer responses are shown to talk, or mute your speaker to talk over the game music.

Mystery Bag
Mystery bag is another fun way to begin or end a Zoom call. It’s also great for practicing inferencing skills! Place a “mystery item” in a paper bag and give the class clues as to what it might be. Students take turns guessing what the mystery item is. This can also be done with a student giving the clues and having the mystery item at their house.
