Description
Students use AP Computer Science Principles topics to play the game of Scattegories. Divide students into teams of five or less. Use a random letter generator. Set a timer to 3 to 4 minutes. Pass out the APCSP Scattegories board to each student.
GAME PLAY: Write down a word starting with the round’s letter for each category. Look through each of the categories and quickly brainstorm an answer for each one that starts with the letter. Try to think of unique answers so you’re less likely to write something another player put down. When you have a unique answer, fill the answers in the first column of your sheet. Once the timer runs out, stop writing even if you missed a few categories.
Use the same rules for the Scattegories board game.
