 INSTRUCTIONS
• Divide the class into 7 groups of 3
• Each group sends 1 representative to the “battle field”,
where players stand in a circle.
• When the judge points at one of the 7 players at
random, she has to speak out one relevant word
(specify later) within 5 seconds.
• The referee decides whether your word is correct or
not.
• If you repeat the already spoken word, you’re out.
• If you are helped by supporters “illegally”, you’re out.
 ROUND 1: COLLOCATION
• Your task is to find an adjective that goes with the
noun on the screen
• If you are correct, the judge will move on to other
players.
• If you are not, the supporters in your group should
support you within 5 seconds. If they are right, you
can move on. If they are wrong, you are out. Each
player has 1 support only.
• Only when 1 player is out can we move to the next
word.

 ROUND 2: SYNONYMS
• The two players stand face to face.
• Their task is to look for synonyms of the verbs on the
screen. There are 3 verbs.
• When the word appears, player 1 states the number of
synonyms she knows. Then player 2 states her
number, which must be bigger than player 1’s. The
challenge continues until one player gives in and let
the other list the words she knows.

scores 1 point. Otherwise, the other scores 1 point.
• The same process apply for the 2 remaining verbs.
