Christmas Scattergories Games

These are really fun games to play before and after Christmas with your students as they practice and build their vocabulary. Scattergories is the perfect classroom group game! You can play this game with students of any age or level. Fun for any classroom and perfect for kids learning English - ESL.

Players attempt to create answers for each of the four categories on their game. This should be a fast moving game and there are only spaces for six words per category. The MAXIMUM they can write is six words so they have to choose them wisely. Students can be creative and flexible with their answers, but other players can challenge them!

12 games are included with 4 different categories on each page. You can either print out the game sheets or project them to save paper and ink. For younger students you can allow more time for them to think and write, while older students will love the challenge of the timer.

How to play: Come up with as many words as you can that are related to the one at the top of each row. Once the timer goes off, you just count and compare how many words you got for each category with the other players. If they came up with the same word as you, that word doesn't count toward your score. Whoever has the most words per list wins that round.
