Keep energy high with countdown timers and short celebrations after each correct answer.
Use follow-up questions (e.g., “Can anyone use that word in another sentence?”) to deepen understanding.
Adapt difficulty by changing sentence complexity or requiring synonyms/definitions.
๐ To Make It More Fun:
Add sound effects for spins and correct answers.
Include bonus “mystery spins” with fun challenges (e.g., act out the word, use it in a short story).
