To solve this problem I created 2 games, Build a House and Food Builder. I realized quickly that without the word wall or alphabet this was very confusing and difficult for my kindergarten students. Premade Zoom Games With Students Build a House & Food Builder Continue playing until they guess the image correctly. At first, you only see a small portion of the image.Īs students guess incorrectly you slowly zoom out allowing them to see more and more of the image. When you are ready to play you will share your screen so everyone can see the image. I use Preview because it is easy to zoom in and out using the magnifying glass images. Before I start my meeting, I also open the images in Preview. Collect and save several images prior to your virtual meeting.
When playing Zoomed In you begin by looking at images that are magnified or zoomed in very close. Students could each prepare their own mystery bag to play too! Zoomed In Give clues or allow students to ask questions to try and guess what is inside the bag. To play Mystery Bag, prepare a bag with an object hidden inside. Low Prep Zoom Games With Students Mystery Bag Students race to guess all of the letters and spell the word before they build a person. If the letter is not in the word a part of a person is drawn. Students will guess letters they think are in the word. Draw lines for the number of letters in the word. Share your screen using the whiteboard feature and play Hangman just like you would on paper. The chosen students will draw the animal for others to guess. For Pictionary, share your screen with the whiteboard feature. If playing Charades, they will act the animal out for other students to guess. The selected student will think of an animal. Students will ask yes/no questions to eliminate classmates until they can guess who the teacher selected. The teacher will think of one student and could even write their name down off-screen. When playing Guess Who, the grid of students is like your game board. Continue to play until only one player remains! Guess Who The teacher will roll a die and students holding up the number rolled are out. Each round students will choose one number to hold up. Have students cut or tear a paper and write the number 1-6 on each one. Instead of moving to corners, students will hold up a numbered piece of paper. Number Out is played similarly to 4 Corners. My TA and I each pulled a number, they added them, and then marked the space on their board. I had my students write the numbers 1-10 in random order in each square and we played Addition Bingo. You can email the students a bingo board to print or you can have them create a board by drawing a grid on paper before you play. Continue playing until one player remains. If the participants miss the cue “Simon Says” then they can sit down. This is one of the easiest games as it is played exactly like the original! The teacher or a designated student will give the directions.
These games required little preparation and nothing but my student’s presence and maybe a piece of paper and a pencil. The first virtual learning games I chose were games I knew they would be familiar with from the classroom. I began my Zoom journey playing simple Zoom games with students.

Games are one of my favorite things! Anytime or anything that lends itself to a game, I’m in! Games increase interest and engagement, plus they’re a great opportunity to practice skills and concepts previously learned in class in a fun way. How do you keep kids interested and engaged when they’re staring at a screen from their home? Zoom games with students were my solution to this. Distance learning has faced teachers with a whole new set of challenges.
