Mystery Hangout
Mystery Hangout through google is an awesome way to connect to other classrooms all across the world. You can video chat with classrooms and the goal is to guess something about the other class. The most common thing to guess is where the other classroom is. Some teachers use it to guess things such as numbers, historical figures, and the state/country the other class is in. Students use yes or no questions in order to guess the other class's mystery subject. The first class to guess it wins!
