Objective
Anagrams is a writing activity players where players must rearranging a group of letters to form new words.
Instructions
1. Decide with the class a few categories that everyone is comfortable with. Choose anywhere between 3-5 categories. You could have such categoires as "movies", "animals", "fruits", "movies" and so on.
2. Players work individually or in pairs to devise 2-3 anagrams per category. Give the class about 30 minutes to do this if they are working individually. A quick way to generate anagrams is to Google for an anagram generator on the internet.

3. Once the players have completed their anagrams, they pass it to another pair or player to solve. Give another 30 minutes for players to solve the anagrams.
Variations
You can have a player be the question master who designates the categories. For example the question master could ask a question such as: "Who is the handsomest in the class?" or "Who are the laziest guys in this class?" and choose a category such as "males".
