This is a template to create a disc for the classic version (non-electronic) of Catch Phrase with your own vocabulary words. Each disc can be customized to have 72 unique vocabulary words that YOU choose. You can create a quick vocabulary review game in minutes that all of your students will love and enjoy! I have created a disc for each vocabulary unit for all of my classes - students truly love this game and it helps students learn vocabulary words. The game of Catch Phrase is a game that participants act out a word that is displayed through a viewing window. Students are no longer memorizing or translating vocabulary words, but learning the true definitions through Total Physical Response (TPR). A great vocabulary game for foreign language classes (Spanish, French, German), history classes, English classes, reading classes, and science classes. Mac users: You must have a Mac version of Microsoft Excel. The Excel file has easy to use formulas built in to quickly insert vocabulary words. PC users: You must have a PC version of Microsoft PowerPoint. This template has been tested and verified using Windows 8 (with Microsoft PowerPoint 2013) and Windows 7 (with Microsoft PowerPoint 2010). The PC template requires you to individually change each vocabulary word/phrase in the template. Other: If you do not have access to the above listed software (or you are struggling to create your disc), you can purchase the template, send me a list of your 72 words/phrases (to [email protected]), and I will email you a PDF file of your custom Catch Phrase disc.

Jimmy Fallon loves to host mini game-show segments on The Tonight Show which entertain his audiences and reveal the playful natures of his guests. Sometimes he creates an original game like Word Sneak (A game in which guests are asked to weave random words into casual conversations), and sometimes he plays a traditional game like Catch Phrase (A timed game requiring guests to concoct clues to help team members guess familiar words and phrases.). Watch Jimmy and his guests (Jim Parsons, Miles Teller and Wiz Khalifa) playing the Tonight Show version of Hasbro’s Catch Phrase. Catch Phrase Demo As I watched this segment, I couldn’t help thinking that this Catch Phrase format would be a perfect way to review idioms. All I had to do is grab a set of idiom cards and a timer (I used a round timer to make it look more like Jimmy's.) - and a display the rules. What could be easier? How to Play Idiom Catch Phrase Setting Up the Game Catch Phrase is played by dividing a class into two different teams and having two student representatives from each team gather around a table in the front of the room. (Students from the same team face each other.) On the table, students will find a set of idiom cards and a timer. Playing the Game Each player takes turns trying to get his or her teammate to guess each idiom while holding onto a timer. When the idiom is guessed, the timer is passed to the next player. When the timer goes off, the opposing team is awarded 10 points for that round. Winning the Game After 3-5 one-minute rounds, the team with the most points wins the game. Being a fast talker, a good guesser, and a quick passer are all helpful skills that will help participants succeed at Catch Phrase!
