Werewords
$14.95
Dustin recommends Werewords or Werewords Deluxe Edition (for a more robust experience) for reviewing vocabulary for English Language classrooms! It is one of his favorites because it is simple to teach, quick, and uses a communicative-based approach to teaching, while also reviewing vocabulary. It is great for reviewing vocabulary in other content areas too!
In Werewords, the hidden identity word game, players attempt to guess a secret word by asking `yes` or `no` questions. However, one of the players is secretly a werewolf who`s not only working against you, but also knows the word. Figure out the magic word before time runs out – or identify the werewolf in your midst – and you win!
A free iOS/Android app provides thousands of words in hundreds of categories at various difficulty levels, so everyone can play.

Buy the Vote!
$34.95Add to cartBuy the Vote! (“BTV!”) is a 15-minute bidding game where players pretend to be Presidential candidates in order to win states by cleverly spending their campaign dollars. The game takes just 3 minutes to learn. It is a game of evolving strategy, game theory, human psychology, and politics (all in one). Everyone loves BTV from experienced poker players to even kids and everyone in between! The game is mostly competitive with an ounce of cooperation as you outwit other candidates to become your party’s Presidential Nominee, but don’t squash your competition too hard because you will need a strong running mate to win the White House by collectively scoring over 270 electoral votes. Unless you think you can do it single-handedly…

Tim French –
Such a great game to ply with the family and get all ages thinking. We played with 2 adults, 4 kids aged 14, 13, 13, 10 and it so very fun to see how they tried to describe words. The app keeps everything organized so whoever has what role it is very easy for them.
