“News of the Weird” Instructions

The Concept: Players will have to guess which pair of words completes the strange news headline.

Items Needed: Red, blue and green cards (included as a separate PDF file).

Instructions: This game can be a team game or an individual game. To play it as an individual game, pass out a red, blue and green card to each person. Players will raise the card they think matches the color of words that are the correct answer. To play it as a team game, split your group into teams and give each one a set of cards so they can decide on their answer as a group.

I find it best to read part, if not all, of the headline again filling in the blanks with the two sets of words as they appear. It helps the players to be able hear how it sounds aloud.

When you play the presentation as normal, the game shows the answer immediately after each question. There is also an alternate version of the game included that will show the answers to the questions at the end of the game. To use the alternate slide show, go to Slide Show -> Custom Shows… -> Show.

Scoring: One point for each correct answer. Have each player or team keep track of their own score if you choose to keep score for this game.
