GAME - Scatagories Weather Game 10-60 minutes Set up some weather-related clothes or L5SecG magazine pictures or pics of seasons around the room to help students think of weather-related words. This is a variation of the “Scattergories” game produced by Hasbro through the Milton Bradley Company and published in 1988. Model the game, using the word “school” as an example. Brainstorm with the students and write down on the board all the words they can think of that relate to “school.” Tell students that they’ll do the same thing in this game, using the topics of “the calendar” and “weather.” After they write down all the words they can think of within the time limit, they will compare their list with their competitors’ lists. Each pair must cross out the words that they have in common. Whoever has different, relevant words gets one point for each word. Divide students into groups of 4. Students work alone and compete with the rest of the group members. Put the L5SecG game cards 09 in a shuffled pile on your desk. Draw a card and call out the word to the students. Start the stopwatch or timer. Each pair of students has 1 minute to write down all the words they can think of that relate to the word. Tell students to work quietly so that they don’t give away their ideas to their opponents!  Write these questions on the board. "I have _______." "Do you have _____?" After 1 minute is up, tell students to stop. Have opponents compare lists by asking the questions in the gray box. They should cross out the words and phrases they have in common. Then they give themselves one point for each remaining relevant word.
