Each team has a board marker. - T calls out a category that needs to brainstorm. SS have 2 minutes (or whatever) to write all the words they know in that category ( modifiers and adjectives). - S who is first in line runs to board, writes word, runs back to line, gives pen to next S in line and then goes to back of line (i.e. relay). - The teams are playing against each other (i.e. race). - When time is up, T reviews with SS, totals points to declare the winners.
