A student from the first group selects one of the words from the hat. The student describes this word to his teammates. Only his teammates may guess. We had this idiom last week when we talked about lying. Once the team answers correctly, they keep the word and the student takes another word from the hat and continues until his one minute is up.
Play continues with the second group.
These same words will come up again in round two, which is much more difficult, so it's vital that everyone in the class be familiar with them during the first round. Play continues around the room with each group taking turns. Once there are no more words in the hat, ask each team to count their cards. They receive one point for each card. Keep score on the board.
