Guess the Google: A game you'll love to hate!


via Angela Maiers Educational Services by Angela Maiers on 10/17/10

OK, I am really mad at my friends, Doug Pete and Alec Couros, for sharing the link to this wonderful distracting game with me over the weekend!
Guess-the-google is an addictive guessing game based on Google's image search.
Guess


Here's how it works: You get 20 images and you need to make the connection between them with just one word.  It sounds simple, just imagine what "keyword" would be used to match all the images. The objective of the game is to be the fastest and most efficient at making that connection between search terms and Google's results.(That's where it gets fun!) The game does requires version 9 of the Flash player. (You can get the latest version here.)
This could be a great brain break for your students as well. Give it a whirl, and you can be mad at Doug and Alec with me! :-)
