How to play:

1. A grid of letters is shown on the board.

2. Students have three minutes to find as many words as they can (which have a minimum of three letters). Words can be formed by connecting letters in order horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

3. At the end of the time, students calculate their scores as shown in next slide. When a word includes an underlined letter, the score for that word is doubled.

4. Repeat for each round.

5. The winning student/team is that which has the highest score after a predefined number of rounds.
