I decided to call this version ‘Spaceman’ because the game would be easily identifiable. It is just a collection of ovals, circles and half-circles. I eventually settled on the image of a spaceship. So, the other day when I was thinking about creating a PowerPoint version of hangman, I was also thinking about the kind of image I could use. The game can be played with any simple to draw image or with no image at all. The alternative versions do seem to involve some peril, but there is no reason why the game should. If you have answered those questions and you are interested in playing hangman in a different format, there are alternatives. What different reactions could students possibly exhibit in response to that image? Is drawing an image of capital punishment/death (regardless of how abstract) appropriate?

If students guess a letter which is not part of that word, the first part of a stick figure is drawn on the board. The general aim is for students to find a mystery word (represented by dashes) by guessing which letters make up that word. If not, please follow this link for a brief introduction to the game. I imagine that if you are reading this you are probably already familiar with how hangman is played. It uses easy to draw shapes, it follows the same rules and it is easily identifiable by its name.
