Shh! Don’t say that word!

ANIMATED FILM
character
cartoon
drawing
Give an example of how to play. Students must define the words using relative clauses but
without saying the words stated, e.g. It’s a type of movie without actors. It’s a movie which
uses computers or artist’s pictures to show the story. Toy Story is an example.
Put students into groups of four or six. Within their groups, students play in two teams
of two or three. Each student has a maximum of one minute to explain as many words as
possible to their team member(s), while a member from the other team looks at the same
card to check they don’t say any of the prohibited words. For each word guessed the teams
gets one point. For each prohibited word used, the other team gets one point.
The team in each group that has the most points after all the cards have been used wins.
Early finishers could write new words on a piece of paper (e.g. words they have recently
learnt in class) and then define them for the opposite team to guess.
