The poison word

You can play this game with intermediate students onwards. The idea is to communicate something for example: explain how to make pizza, explain how to whistle, tell how to plant a tree and many others things you want to include. You may have sample cards so each student takes one and he or she is going to explain what it appears on it. There are certain words that students must not say for instance: it, you, well, like. You will decide this or otherwise you can roll a die to determine that " Poison word" Students must speak during one minute without saying THE word, If they remain silent for more than 15 seconds they are disqualified. When the minute is over a signal is given and the speaker can stop.
