This is a great game to get students involved! They will probably end up saying something they didn\u2019t want to that will make you and everyone else laugh. Just like the card game, you have 5 seconds to list off 5 things related to the topic. It\u2019s a lot of fun and works\u00a0great as\u00a0an icebreaker.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Supplies” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

For example, if the topic is salad dressings, the contestant have 5 seconds to name 5 different kinds of dressings. It\u2019s harder than it seems!<\/p>\n There are a few variations to make this game work:<\/p>\n 1) Single Game Play<\/strong> \u2013 You can bring up one kid at a time and have them guess at a slide. If they are able to get all 5 in 5 seconds, then give them some candy. If they can\u2019t, give them a pie in the face.<\/p>\n 2) Battle \u2013<\/strong> Bring two students up on stage. Place them on opposite sides of the stage, each with an adult leader. Pick a topic and the first person who identifies 5 items in relation to the topic is the winner.<\/p>\n 3) Guys vs. Girls \u2013 <\/strong>Bring up one guy and one girl. Send the guy out of the room, far enough away that he can\u2019t\u00a0hear what the girl says. Pick a topic and see if she can guess 5 things for that topic. After she is done bring in the guy. Using the same topic have him try to guess 5 things from that topic. Do this a couple times with different guys and girls and tally up who the dominating gender is![\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/funninja.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/dressings.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/funninja.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/apps.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Connect With Us” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n Do you have a question about this game?
