One good thing that has come out of the pandemic is the super-fun game, Codenames. (If you haven’t played it yet, what are you waiting for?! Learn how to play here.) 

I thought it would be fun to make an e-learning version, and this is what I came up with. If you’re familiar with the game, you’ll notice I’ve taken some creative liberties, but hopefully you’ll recognize some of the major mechanics of the original game. And whether or not you’re familiar with the game, I hope you and your learners will enjoy my take on it.
