Hangman is a word game in which students have a limited amount of chances to guess the letters in a word and then guess the whole word. If a student makes an incorrect guess one line is drawn in a figure that develops to show a picture of a stick person hanging from a noose. If enough incorrect guesses are made to draw the full picture the student loses the game.
