About this game

30 printable word cards for a pictionary-style drawing game: hard words, ideas and feelings you have to draw around, from sneeze to nightmare. Cut along the dashed lines, fold the cards and let players draw one at a time. Second graders usually finish it in 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips for using it

Set a timer for one minute; a short limit keeps the drawings quick and the game loud.
No letters, no numbers, no pointing at things in the room. Sounds and gestures from the guessers are fine.
Let the youngest player use picture cards while the others draw from the word lists.

Printing tips

Download the PDF for the sharpest result and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). The PNG is 300 DPI, which is handy for tablets and coloring apps. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
