10th Grade Autumn PowerPoint Presentations

Bring some seasonal fun into your classroom with Oops! Autumn Edition, a taboo-like game designed to challenge students' vocabulary while keeping them engaged. This interactive game will boost team collaboration, communication, and critical thinking—all while having fun! Perfect for middle school and high school students, this fall-themed activity is ideal for classroom warm-ups, brain breaks, or seasonal events.

Objective of Oops:
In this game, students work together to guess a word while avoiding specific "Oopsies" (taboo words). The clue giver provides hints without saying any of the "Oopsies," while the guesser has one minute to guess the word based on the given clues. If the clue giver says an "Oopsie," they lose a point!

What's Included:

• Teachers Guide with step-by-step instructions on how to play
• PDF Version of the game featuring a clickable game selection board and a return-to-board button on every "Oops" card
• Printable Game Tracking Sheet to keep track of points and rounds
• Online Game Versions with timers:
  • 40-second timer version
  • 1-minute timer version

How It Works:
Players pick a number from the game selection board to reveal a word and the associated "Oopsies." The clue giver describes the word without using any of the "Oopsies," while the guesser, seated with their back to the screen, tries to figure it out. You can easily track scores using the provided tracking sheet. After the set time, the next team takes a turn.

Why You'll Love It:

• No Prep Needed – Just download and play!
• Interactive and Engaging – Perfect for building vocabulary and teamwork skills.
• Seasonal Fun – Add an autumn twist to your classroom activities.
