Family Feud

Game Template Instructions

When to use Family Feud in the Classroom

Integrating Family Feud into a class-period is a type of Game-based learning. You can use this game

template for most disciplines to review content categories with a series of terms to guess using clues.

The game is excellent for reviewing material and can build student motivation and enthusiasm.

How to play Instructional Family Feud

1. Getting Started

Divide the class into two teams. A player from each team will face-off as the instructor reads the

question off the game board.

2. Earning Points

The player who buzzed in first with the correct answer will receive control of the board. The

player has the option of playing or passing control to the opposing team. The team that has

control will try to reveal all the correct answers to the original question. As a team answers

correctly, the appropriate number of points are awarded.

3. Receiving Strikes

If an answer is not on the board, the team will receive a strike. After three strikes, the control is

passed onto the opposing team.

4. Winning the Game

The team with the most points at the conclusion of the final round wins the game.
