Description

This activity can be implemented with taboo cards. We encourage you to create your own cards (with your team) on the topic you want to work on, so the activity will be even more creative.

Implementation:
Setup: Divide the participants into two groups. Place the cards and the timer in the center of the table. Select a person from the group (it should not always be the same person) to provide the information to guess the word. This person will sit in front of the team, pick up a card and set the timer. Your group cannot see the card and one person from the other group must check the person who is describing.
The person who has the card must give appropriate information to the members of his/her team to help them find the word.

Rules: The person who describes can do it with words, definitions or phrases. The words written on the card or the words that contain part of the word described cannot be described, for example: Day-Calendar. If the team finds the word, they get a point. When the time is up (30 seconds) then the other team has the right to play and try to find the word.

Intercultural dimension: You can have the same cards in other languages ​​as well, so when they find the word, participants should say it, for example, in both Spanish and Greek, for half a point per language.

Variations

To make the game more fun, players could bet something, for example, the losing team has to cook something or cook and spend time together afterwards.
