To play this game in our class, I put two chairs facing the class so that the "contestants" can't see the word on the screen. Next, I ask the students in the "audience" for one word clues.

This is a "fun fact" worksheet that can serve as practice for your students using the factoring technique known as Greatest Common Factor. This "fun fact" worksheet is in the same mold as the common riddle worksheets you have most likely seen. However, this worksheet reveals a fun and interesting fun fact at the end.
