KEY WORD

In this game the class is divided into two teams and two students are selected to represent each team. These four players go to the front of the room and sit in previously arranged chairs; one member of each team facing the board, the other two players facing the class.

As the game begins the teacher, or a student assistant who does not belong to either team, hold up a card with a word printed on it. The entire class and the two players facing the board can see the word, but the two students facing the class cannot see it. 

The object of the game is for the player who sees the word to give one word clues to his partner, so that the partner may try and guess the word; the teams alternate back and forth after each attempt to guess the word. The proceeds as follows:

(Teacher or student assistant holds up the word shoe.)

Yellow Team - S1: (seeing the word) foot

Yellow Team - S2: walk

Green Team - S1: (seeing the word) wear

Green Team - S2: stocking

Yellow Team - S1: Leather

Yellow Team - S2: shoe (wins the round)

Each team has five opportunities to guess the word.

The team that guesses the word gets one point. 

The students that don’t get a point for their team are asked a question related to the subject you’re teaching before moving on to the next round with new players and a new word.

If none of them can discover what the word is after five tries, other two students are selected to represent their teams in a new round.

The team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.
