About this template

This game is a delightful alternative to the traditional Hangman game, where instead of drawing a gallows and a stick figure, students get to build a cute bunny step by step while guessing a secret word.

How to play

Choose a word: This game is typically played with one student or the teacher acting as the game master. The game master chooses a word or phrase appropriate for the age and skill level of the students. This word is kept secret from the students.

Start guessing: Students take turns guessing letters they think might be in the word. Each correct guess reveals the letter in its position(s) in the word.

  • For each incorrect guess, a part of the bunny is drawn.
  • The drawing starts with a simple outline and progresses with features like ears, eyes, nose, whiskers, etc.
  • The goal for the students is to guess the word before the bunny is fully drawn.

Winning the game: The game ends when either the bunny is built (the game master wins) or if the entire word is guessed before the bunny is fully made (the students win).
