Guess the Emojis – Classic Games Edition

Read a small set of emoji symbols as a clue and work out the game title they stand for

Recall the names of sixteen widely known board and card games

Sixteen puzzles on one sheet make this a short filler for the end of a lesson, a first-day icebreaker or an early-finisher task

Run it in pairs or small teams - a student who has never played Snakes and Ladders or Hungry Hippo will often get the title from a partner

Hold the solutions page back until everyone has finished, then use it to run through the sixteen answers in the printed order

The Name line means the sheet can be collected, though it works equally well projected and solved together as a class

Visual inference - students interpret a small group of emoji symbols as a clue to a name rather than reading the answer in words.

Symbol-to-word thinking - each puzzle asks students to connect pictures with the sounds or ideas inside a familiar title such as Mouse Trap or Go Fish.

General knowledge of classic games - the sixteen titles span board and card games from Chess and Monopoly to Uno and Candy Land.
