K. Peters – Beaverton Public School Prince Grenouille Cranium This

Prince Grenouille Cranium
This game is based on the popular game Cranium.
Materials:
Each group of 6 – 8 students will need
- One set of cards photocopied front to back
- Scrap paper and pencil for drawing
- A plum sized quantity of plastiscine (which, for reasons of classroom
management, I control)
How to play:
• Students should work in pairs to form a “team.”
• Three teams compete against each other
• Team A draws a card and reads it to Team B.
• Team C listens attentively in case Team B can’t answer
• Team B tries to complete the challenge. If they are successful, they keep
the card for a point. If not, Team C tries for it.
• Roles rotate
• After all teams have had equal turns, the team with the most points wins.
