Gaming in the classroom is a big thing these days. Use learning games in your classroom to combine lesson content with gaming. Besides games like crossword riddles and bingo, you can also use a hangman game in your lessons. A hangman game is a game often used for guessing. You'll see it's much more than that.

Use a hangman game in courses like biology, history, languages, maths and more. I created examples of a hangman game for 10 courses. Hope you will see that the hangman game has a learning value as well.

Use a snowman instead of a hangman when you think this is more appropriate for your students.

So how to play a hangman game in the classroom? When students have 1-on-1 devices, you can let them work individually. If not, just share the hangman on the big screen.
