About this tool

In Hot Seat, the whole class holds the secret and one student has to crack it, which flips the usual guessing game on its head and keeps everyone else fully engaged too. This tool displays the word to the room while keeping it hidden from whoever's sitting in the hot seat, so classmates can describe, act it out, or give clues however the round calls for. It's a strong fit for vocabulary practice, since students have to explain a word in their own language rather than just recognize it. Rotate a new student into the seat, generate the next word, and the game resets itself.
