Word game for teaching: Categories game in the classroom

How to set up a game for a class

You turn these on in the advanced options when creating a game. The teacher logs in, the students don't.

Fixed game start

You set the time the game starts by itself. Students join in advance and the game starts without waiting.

Custom nicknames

Students choose a nickname and you can tell who is who.

Game manager mode

You end the rounds and decide on doubtful words.

Fixed time for writing words

So that students who don't write don't hold the game up and everybody has the same amount of time, set a fixed time for the round. The round ends when the time runs out and you move on together.

Time to confirm the words

The lesson won't run longer because of students who don't confirm the results.

Live game

Part of the class plays, the rest watches and votes. More about the live game.
