That\u2019s really almost all there is to it.<\/p>\n<p><em>The basics:<\/em> One person takes a word card and puts it in the \u201cdecoder\u201d envelope (you will understand when you open the box). Choose one word on the card and set the score to 10. The person with the word gives a clue and their teammates guess. If they are wrong, the score goes down 1 point, and they get another clue.<\/p>\n<p><em>For English Learners:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The clues in the original game are just one word. For English learners, it is much better to say a sentence. For example, not \u201cFruit,\u201d but \u201cIt is a kind of fruit.\u201d This will make the game easier, too.<\/li>\n<li>Skip words that you think are too difficult for the group to guess.<\/li>\n<li>You can play with two teams guessing two different words, or play as one group. If you play as a group with scoring, only one person can guess at a time. The person who guesses correctly and the person giving the clues both get the points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Final Thoughts:<\/strong> I think this is good as an activity more than a game. Using the \u201cdecoder\u201d envelope is also kind of fun, so give it a try!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2409\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/password-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/password-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/password-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/password-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/password-994x559.jpg 994w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/password.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL game series.
