Ways to Play:
Teacher vs. Student. If the students don’t guess the person correctly from the 5 clues, the teacher gets a point. If the students guess the person correctly, the students get a point.
Use the worksheet for students to research each person you’re going to play with before beginning. They can take notes and use the worksheet as a cheat sheet while they’re playing. This way, you can make it slightly more educational!
Create your own. Type in your own clues for each person to play with.
Just for fun. The students can play the game based off of appearances, like the real guessing game, rather than historical facts.
