Draw and guess for pre-K (ages 3–5)

Use this draw-and-guess game during circle time, transitions, or as a fun brain break. Young children love guessing what their classmates draw, and it helps them practice attention and speaking skills.

The screen shows a drawing board, a spinner with easy words, a big timer, a simple scoreboard, and a checklist. Everything is large and easy to see. Children take turns drawing while classmates guess.

Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.
