🌟 Details and Background

This Scene It game has been a massive hit with my students! It’s based on the classic American board game from the ’90s/’00s and has been adapted for the classroom. While it’s designed for elementary schoolers, it also works as a fun time filler for Special Needs Junior High School classes, especially before winter break.

• 🕒 Duration: Easily fills an entire class period (or more).
  
• 🎉 Flexibility: Watch 3-4 clips or go through all 9—it’s up to you!

👥 Age Group

🎒 Materials

• Whiteboards, markers, and erasers for each team.
  
• A blackboard (or another place) for scorekeeping.

🎲 How to Play

1) Divide into teams:

- Split the class into 4–6 teams (max 8).

2) Set up:

- Give each team a whiteboard, marker, and eraser.

- Open the PowerPoint and explain the basics of the game.

3) Pick a clip:

- Go to the “Videos” section of the PowerPoint.

- Teams pick an igloo number to watch a movie clip. Click the igloo to play the video.

4) Answer questions:

- After the clip, click to the Christmas stockings slide. Each stocking represents a question, have a group pick a stocking and click on it to see a question about the clip.
- Teams answer questions by writing on their whiteboards. Countdown, then reveal the correct answer!

5) Score points:

- Teams with the correct answer pick one prize from the next “Prize” slide.

- Click a snowman icon to reveal how many points they’ve won.

- Keep track of scores on the blackboard.

6) Repeat:

- Choose more questions from the Christmas stockings or return to the igloo page to pick a new movie.

🎈 Variations

No Google access?
If you don't have access to GoogleDrive at school you can use your ALTopedia subscription account to insert the videos yourself. I've written a brief description on how to do it in a PDF below. Unfortunately ALTopedia has a file size upload limit of 200MB so the completed file cant be uploaded to the site itself.

Happy teaching,
