What is Bamboozle?
Baamboozle offers game-based online learning for the classroom or remote learning. There are thousands of games created by teachers in the database to choose from. Anyone can search for games by keywords or choose one of our games created by the LifeStreams team. Pick your game, divide the group into two or more teams and begin play. Each team chooses a number from the game board and answers the question. If the team answer the question correctly, they win points. Most points at the end of the game wins!
How do I play my first Bamboozle game?
You can go to the Lifestreams Bamboozle page to start a game. If you don’t find a game there that suits your needs, you can search for more games on the Bamboozle homepage.
After you clicked on the game you want, click play.
You’ll be brought to the next page where you can set the rules for the game. Choose your number of teams and grid size. Finally, decide if you want to play with questions only (Quiz mode) or with randomized power-ups (Classic mode). And that’s it!
Before Playing
After you’ve equally divided your teams, have a quick conversation about basic rules.
How are teams choosing the next number to answer? Will they alternate between team members to give each player a fair chance at choosing?
Does each team have a team captain? Is there a facilitator who will be the team captain?
You’re now ready to start playing the fantastic and frantic game of Baamboozle.
Ways to Play
The magic of this website allows you to play this in the classroom or remotely. The learners do not need their own devices such as phones, ipads or computers to play. Project or share your screen remotely, whatever works for you!
Bamboozle: Final Thoughts
Baamboozle is incredibly fun to play with small or large teams. When learning is fun and engaging, learners are more willing to take risks and participate.
