Objective:
Be the first team to correctly guess all of the clues
Items Needed:
CODENAMES BOARD GAME (link below), Projector or TV
How To Play:
Divide into two teams. Both teams will send one person to be the clue giver. The clue giver’s job is to give their team one word hints connecting the words that they are supposed to guess. There is a grid that the two clue giver’s have to follow, which shows them which words their team has to guess. The clue giver is only allowed to say one Word (as the clue) and one Number (this lets the team guessing know how many words on the board match to the clue given. Both clue givers alternate giving clues to their team. First team to guess all the correct words is the winner!
For more in depth rules and nuances read the rules that come with the game.
This Game is usually played at a table with the cards laid out so all players can see, but in a youth department this would be very hard. So instead take a picture of the words once you have set them out and project it onto the TV or Screen! so the whole crowd can see them. The game plays as normal except when a clue is guessed correctly, instead of placing a red or blue token on the card (signifying that the team guessed correctly) color in the card on your phone using the edit tool and marker! It is a super easy way of turning this game into a large scale game so everyone can play! We screen mirrored it from my iphone onto a TV and It worked great!
