SCATTERGORIES GAME WITH TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT

HERE ARE TEN TOPICS THAT ARE EASY FOR STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND BUT WILL ENCOURAGE THEIR CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION WHEN THEY NEED TO COME UP WITH ANSWERS STARTING WITH A SPECIFIC LETTER.

THESE TOPICS ARE STRAIGHTFORWARD ENOUGH THAT STUDENTS CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING ASKED, BUT OPEN.ENDED ENOUGH THAT IF THEY CAN'T THINK OF A "REAL"ANSWER FOR A PARTICULAR LETTER, THEY CAN INVENT SOMETHING CREATIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE LETTER IS"ZAND THE CATEGORY IS "REASONS TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL" A STUDENT MIGHT INVENT "ZOMBIE BLOCKED MY PATH" IR "ZEPPELIN CRASHED IN MY YARD"
