It’s the classic game you know and love—but with a twist that turns up the tension! In Rock Paper Scissors, the whole room plays at once, but this time the screen is in charge. Each round, a video rapidly cycles through rock, paper, and scissors while students lock in their move by holding it out in front of them. Then the reveal video plays… and the screen throws down its choice. If your move loses to what’s on the screen, you’re out! It’s fast, it’s intense, and the last one standing takes the win.
How to Play:
Have all students stand up and get ready. Play the first video, which quickly cycles through rock, paper, and scissors to build suspense. When it ends, students choose and lock in their move by holding it out clearly. Then play the reveal video to show what the screen picks. Anyone whose move is beaten by the screen’s choice is out and sits down. Repeat with the remaining players until only one student is left—they’re the champion!

How to Play:
Display the title and description of a TV show on the screen. Some are real shows that actually aired, and some are completely made up.

It’s funny, it’s fiery, and it’ll have your group passionately defending their favorites in the most absurd situations.
How to Play:
Bring one student from each team on stage to represent each of the two characters shown on screen.

This game is loud, chaotic, and absolutely hilarious. Guess What Now? puts one brave contestant on stage with their back to the screen, while the rest of the crowd sees a wild, animated video of a ridiculous scenario—like a leprechaun playing basketball in a haunted library or a vampire roasting marshmallows on the moon. The video highlights three capitalized words that the contestant has to guess, but here’s the catch: the crowd can’t say any of the words—they can only act them out! From zombies to sports to spooky settings, every round is unpredictable, and the energy is off the charts.
How to Play:
Split the group into two teams. For each round, bring one volunteer from each team to the front.

Some mascots are fierce. Some are… let’s just say, creatively questionable.

From “The Pretzels” to “The Fighting Pickles,” this game will have your students second-guessing everything they thought they knew about school spirit.
How to Play:
Have students stand in the middle of the room. When a mascot appears on screen, students must decide if it’s real or fake. If they think it’s a real high school mascot, they move to the right side of the room. If they think it’s fake, they move to the left. After everyone makes their choice, reveal the answer on the next slide. Students who get it wrong are out! Keep going until one student remains—or reset each round and just play for fun.

As the points stack up, the energy builds, transforming a simple activity into a lively highlight of your youth gathering.
Sharpen those pencils and your intuition—it’s time for Follow My Lead – Back to School Edition! In this crowd-based guessing game, one brave leader takes the stage and silently chooses between two classic school-related options. The twist? The rest of the group has to guess what the leader picked by choosing a side of the room. From cafeteria food face-offs to subject showdowns, it’s all about reading the leader’s mind. Pick the right side and you survive. Pick wrong… and you're heading back to class (aka you're out)!
How to Play:
Bring one leader or volunteer on stage. Display a slide with two school-themed choices (like “Math” vs. “English” or “Backpack” vs. “Binder”). The leader silently picks one of the options.
