Procedure

This is a variation on scattergories

1. Divide the class into three teams.
2. Think of as many categories as you think are appropriate (countries, food, colors, household Items, animals, languages, clothes, adverbs, etc.)
3. Write one category on the board and tell the students that they have two minutes to come up with as many words in each category as they can. Teams get a point for each word that they come up with. However, if more than one team writes down the same word (for example, two teams write down "red" under the category of colours) nobody gets a point.
4. Change the category on the board and start again. The team who scores the most points wins.
