Six ways to play together

Open Brain Breaks from Classroom Playbook. Choose an activity for your classroom display, then guide the pace of play.

⚗️

Science Lab

Explore teacher-led simulations with pouring, circuits, magnets, ramps, shadows, and sink-or-float activities. Invite predictions before trying a change. Models are simplified; they are not instructions for real chemical experiments.

Draw & Guess

Little doodles. Big imagination.

Draw a familiar object or a silly scene while classmates guess out loud. Optional picture clues help younger artists understand their prompt, with colorful pens and undo for easy experimenting.

Use the classroom canvas, or open Student connect to choose a random connected student as the artist. Only the current artist receives the secret prompt and can draw from their device. The teacher controls the next artist and answer reveal.

APPLE

Word Quest

Ready, set… word detectives!

Work together to find a four- or five-letter mystery word in six guesses. Colored tiles and symbols give clues about which letters belong and where they go. Type directly into the board or use its on-screen keyboard.

This or That

Pick a side and share why. Students can vote from their devices using a room code, while the teacher decides when to move to the next choice.

Reveal a picture a little at a time. Invite students to notice details, change their guesses, and explain what they see.

World Explorer

Explore geography questions and pictures together. Make a guess, check the answer, and talk about places beyond the classroom.

These activities require an active teacher-led room. Students do not need to create a ClassPlaybook account.

Questions teachers ask

Can the class play without student devices?

Yes. Use the classroom display for shared guessing, word puzzles, picture reveals, and drawing. Student connect is an optional Draw & Guess mode.

Can every student draw at once?

No. In student mode, the teacher selects the next random artist. Only that artist can submit drawing updates during the turn.

Are live student rooms searchable?

The public page you are reading describes the games. Student join pages are marked not to be indexed, and live room content is not included in the sitemap. Room access is controlled separately from search settings.

What should our district IT team allow?

See the School & District Access page for student join addresses and network requirements.
