• Sketch it, spot it, show it. Twist it, twist it, buy it, break it, Technologic.
• SO, THIS IS A DRAWING GAME.
• And so, as I'm making these descriptions during the 60-second time, then another player or any of the students can just throw out words and guess what they think we are drawing.
• It's a drawing game where there's going to be one player that is a teacher and then all the other players are going to be students.
• But also, I think some of the charm of the game is how bad the drawings are.
• I think um I think though that if you're trying to win it, if you're like trying to actually get points, yeah, it's hard. It's hard in this game.
• I think the word bank is not too strong in this game.
• The dry erase markers that it comes with are too sharp, which I've never said that before.
• But I think more rounds than not just kind of fall flat for me.
