How to play
Work out the secret name on your own head.
That's the goal — no rules to teach. Here's how a round of Celebrity Heads runs.
2
Ask the group yes-or-no questions.
Fire yes-or-no questions at the group — “Am I real? Am I alive today? Am I a scientist?” — and let the answers narrow it down.
Be the first to guess who you are.
The instant it clicks, call your name. First player to guess their own head takes the round.
Ways to play
One screen, the whole room in
Celebrity Heads needs nothing but a shared screen — the projector up front or a tablet at a table. No devices to hand out, no accounts, no codes. Same round, and it doubles as revision.
On the big screen
Project one round and the whole class plays together — the heads go up on the board and the room works them out, calling yes or no as the questions fly. No devices, no codes, no setup.
Zero devices · zero prepRound one tablet
Hand a tablet to a table of two to six. Everyone can read every head but their own, and they quiz each other as the turn passes round the group. Rotate tables through it as a station.
One shared screen · rotate groupsMade from your unit
Swap celebrities for the scientists, authors or key terms you are teaching. Asking good yes-or-no questions about Marie Curie is the revision — the game just turns it into a race.
