# Doodle Duel for classrooms

Doodle Duel is a browser-based drawing game used by K-12 teachers, college instructors, and ESL/EFL classes as an icebreaker, brain break, vocabulary drill, or end-of-class reward.

## Why it works in classrooms

- **Browser-only.** No school IT install. Works on Chromebooks, iPads, school laptops.
- **No accounts.** Students join with a 4-letter room code. No emails collected.
- **Levels the playing field.** AI scores prompt accuracy, not artistic skill, so non-artistic students regularly outscore "the class artist."
- **5-15 minute sessions.** Fits any class period.
- **Visual vocabulary practice.** Built-in for ESL/EFL -- students hear a word, then race to draw it.
- **Big-group friendly.** Pro rooms go up to 30 players -- full class sizes.

## Use cases

- First-day-of-class icebreaker
- Vocabulary warm-up (especially ESL/EFL)
- Friday afternoon reward
- Brain breaks between math and reading
- End-of-unit review (use category as the unit topic)
- Substitute teacher day energizer
- Holiday parties and last-day-before-break activity

## Get started

Open https://doodleduel.ai on the projector or share the room code on the board. Each student joins on their device with the code. Pick a category (food, animals, objects work best for K-5), 5-10 rounds, 60 seconds per round.
