Definition Wizards
The target word is forbidden. Students describe it without using the obvious clues — the class guesses, and tricky vocabulary sticks.
Definition Wizards generates a target word alongside 3–4 forbidden words — the most obvious descriptors. Students must circumlocute around the forbidden words to make their team guess the target, exercising paraphrasing skills at every level.
Definition Wizards is a circumlocution and paraphrasing game.
