The box is full of dice with strange pictures on each side. It\u2019s your job to use the pictures to make words.<\/p>\n<p><em>The basics:<\/em> Roll all of the dice (or shake the box with them inside). Then, each player or team must write down all of the \u201cwords\u201d or phrases that they see. For example, if you see a picture of \u201cfire\u201d and of a \u201cdog,\u201d you could write \u201chot dog.\u201d Each word is worth a point.<\/p>\n<p><em>For English Learners:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t play with the timer. This game is hard enough for native speakers.<\/li>\n<li>Think about the pictures like emoji. How do you use emoji when you text? That may help you be creative.<\/li>\n<li>Before you start playing, look at the pictures and talk about what they are. Can the picture of an \u201cx\u201d mean \u201cno\u201d or \u201cnot\u201d or \u201cbad\u201d? Can the picture of the ocean mean \u201csea,\u201d and therefore also mean \u201csee\u201d? Can the \u201cpencil and paper\u201d mean \u201cwrite,\u201d \u201cdraw,\u201d or \u201cletter\u201d? I think so. It can be interesting even just to talk about the different pictures.<\/li>\n<li>After you roll the dice, look for a word or phrase. Instead of writing it down, put the dice together and show the group. If someone can guess the word, you both get a point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Final Thoughts: <\/strong>Like \u201cPassword,\u201d I think this is a better activity than a game. Don\u2019t worry about points. Just try to make words and guess with your group.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2414\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/visualeyes-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/visualeyes-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/visualeyes-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/visualeyes-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/visualeyes-994x559.jpg 994w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/visualeyes.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL game series.
