Tips for this pack
- Supplies are the easiest words here. Clue them by the class you use them in, like "math" for a calculator, rather than by their shape.
- Subjects like Physics or Geography are harder to clue, so try a topic from that class, like "magnets", or something you carried to it.
- Teachers running it in class can turn on the imposter hint and a 1-minute timer to keep each round short.
