Codenames Connotation & Denotation Card pieces
Here are the game pieces that go on top of the words, once they have been read/guessed in the game. Each page has 10 on it, and the game key was made to have 10 for each color (red & blue) compared to the normal amount, to encourage students to keep going and have more words! The grey page & black pages are included as well for the other parts of the game. There is also a black and white version that can be used to print on colored paper since ink is expensive (this is what I personally did).
