PLAYED FOR YOU

Give me five!

Give me Five is a word guessing game - in a game of four, six or eight players you play in teams of two, in case of five or seven players each player is on his own and with nine players you form teams of three players.

You draw six topic cards from the stack and choose a number between 1 and 8; this number determines the topic used from each card. Now you draw three letters face-down from the latter stack and turn over the first letter card and the first topic card. Now each player thinks of a word that starts with this letter and fits the current topic, and also of a clue word that gives as much information as possible. If you have found both you knock on the check card and, at the same time, say the clue in a loud voice. Your partner or partners start counting down from five with you immediately, when you reach zero both word giver and word guesser name the word; if it is the same, the team takes the letter card; if not, the next team that knocks can play, it has 10 seconds. In a game of five or seven players any players can knock on the check card when the word fiver has named the clue; whoever knocks counts down to zero with the word giver, the words are named and if they correspond the word giver takes the letter card and the guesser a card from the surplus topic cards. Then you play with the same topic for the remaining two letters and then 3 letters for each of the five remaining topic cards. After that, the winner is the team or the player with most cards.

This is a witty party game and a clever language training at the same time, you can translate the topics or try to play in French.
