Description of the resource

A free to use website in which you can create  a Pictionary style game where a participant (one at a time) will have three words to choose from and will have to try and draw out the word for the other players to guess what that word is. Those who get it right get a point, you can also vote up or down depending on the drawing and vote kick players who are misbehaving. You can add your own words and select to use only customized words or to add them to the very vast library of words they have already, the more players guess right. the more points the drawer gets, and the faster the players guess (position based, 1st, 2nd, etc.) the more points they get. they have a timer you can set (25-90 sec) for them to draw and for the others to guess, as the time lowers, they get hints in the form of letters at the top of the drawing and it will always have the amount of letters the word(s) have in the form of underscores. 

How can I start using Skribbl?

You just join the website create a game, change the settings if you want (words to be used, time limits, rounds, etc.), create the game, get the link to join others and invite them to the lobby and start the game, do the rounds and at the end it will show the winner, with the most points. 

Skribbl can be a  more interactive and fun way to implement and check vocabulary and understanding. You can make a game with descriptive words, colors, facial features, type of hair, etc. 

Pros:
