$20000 Pyramid was one of my favorite game shows growing up in the 70's. They use it as a vocabulary game. It's simple- one player can see the vocabulary word, the other has their back to it. Player 1 gives clues to help Player 2 guess the word without actually saying the word. We played at KEEN- so fun! There are a lot of other games with a similar format. I'm going to find a template online to put on my Promethean to do this. I also found some old clips from the show to show the kids. Fun stuff!
They also showed us an adaptation of the game SPOONS. Put all your vocab words on small, passable cards with words on some, definitions or characteristics on others. Put one less spoon on the table than there are players. The dealer gives everyone 2 cards then begins to pass a new card around. Each player can have only two cards at a time so the passing continues. When someone gets two cards that match they grab a spoon and everyone else does too. He/she who doesn't manage to grab a spoon is out. Each time a player goes out another spoon is removed.
