Vocabulary Password Game, Academic Vocabulary for Middle School, Google Slides and PowerPoint

$4.99

One-word clues, one guesser, and thirty words your students meet on every test. This middle school vocabulary game puts academic vocabulary into the classic Password format for grades 6 to 8, in Google Slides or PowerPoint. Project it, or print the word cards.

Why These 30 Words

  • They are Tier 2 academic vocabulary: analyze, justify, interpret, relevant, credible. The words test questions, rubrics, and textbooks are written in
  • Students only have to recognize each word from teammates’ clues, not define it, so words that feel hard on a worksheet become reachable targets in play
  • Each round is one part of speech (verbs, nouns, adjectives), and knowing the part of speech shapes the clues. That is where the vocabulary thinking happens

How the Game Works

  1. Two teams, or pairs. Each team picks a guesser, and guessers face away from the screen
  2. The password appears. Teammates take turns giving ONE-WORD clues
  3. One guess after each clue. First team to say the password wins the word

Perfect For

  • Vocabulary review that gets the whole class shouting clues
  • ELA warm-ups, Fridays, sub days, and test prep
  • No projector? Play the same game with the printable cut-apart cards

Description

What’s Included

  • The editable game with 30 passwords in 3 rounds and a clickable round picker. Google Slides ready, plus a PowerPoint version with the game show sound effects
  • Printable cut-apart word cards, one sheet per round, for playing without a projector
  • Rules page and a 2-team score sheet
  • Color and ink-saver black and white, US Letter and A4

The 3 Rounds

Round 1 is verbs (compare, analyze, persuade), round 2 is nouns (context, strategy, motive), and round 3 is adjectives (accurate, skeptical, credible). Ten passwords each. Every word is editable, so any round can become your own word list in minutes.

Is the Level Right?

The list sits comfortably in grades 7 and 8 and stretches early grade 6, which is exactly where a review game should sit. Each round mixes easy anchors like compare, opinion, and detail with the harder academic words, so every team scores and every team works for it.

Works On

Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks. Project the slides or print the cards. No student devices or logins required.
