Board Race
Two teams. One topic. Sixty seconds. Race to write as many correct words as you can before the clock runs out — the team with the most words wins the round.
How to play
- Two teams, two markers. Draw a line down the middle of the board and give each team a marker (or play on screen in Type mode).
- Read the prompt. A topic appears, for example “write as many fruits and vegetables as you can”.
- Race! When the timer starts, team members take turns running to the board to write one word each. No word can be repeated.
- Count the words. When time is up, count each team’s correct words (check the answer key). Enter the totals to score.
- Win. Play all the rounds. The last round is the Championship — double points. Highest total wins.
