I play the Noun Game in my classroom, and my students absolutely

MATERIALS: Letter blocks, deck of cards with students' names on
them or something to call on them throughout the game in a quick
fashion OBJECT: To be the last person standing in the game. HOW
TO PLAY: 1. Have students stand behind their chairs. 2. Draw a
letter block (I have a bucket full of them.) 3. State your rule,
for example, "You must give me a proper noun that starts with
the letter "n" as in Niagra Falls. (You can change what you'd
like them to respond with, common nouns, names, etc.) 4. Start
calling students one by one to give you a word. 5. At the end of
the round (after you've called everyone's name) pick a new
letter block and repeat until one student is left standing. HOW
TO GET ELIMINATED OR SIT DOWN: 1. Student repeats a noun that
has already been said in that round. 2. Student says a word that
is not a noun. 3. Student exceeds the time limit. When I start
