Hangman Alternative

I always played hangman in school.Of course it is not always considered politically correct to play hangman any more. It was fine when I went to school, but with all the more gruesome versions played online (some include swinging corpses) I understand the hesitance.

One neat alternative is called snowman. It can just be drawn on the smartboard. For each wrong letter you draw a circle for a snow man. The traditional game give you 6 wrong guesses ( 2 arms, 2 legs, 1 head, 1body) that gives you room for 3 snow balls, 2 stick arms and 1 hat. 
Another one is drawn with a person holding onto some balloons. For each wrong answer a ballon is popped. Once you start looking for alternatives for the game you start to find millions of them.
