Have a list of vocabulary words the students know.
Put a chair at the front of class facing the room.
None
Speaking
Listening
Call one student from the first team to sit in the chair to be the ‘mastermind’.
Let them pick a vocabulary word from the list, make sure you know what it is so you can help.
The students from the other teams take it in turns to ask a question to be the ‘mastermind’.
If the ‘mastermind’ answers correctly in a full sentence they get 2 points.
If a team wants to guess what the ‘mastermind’ is, they can do this on their teams turn.
If they guess correctly, they get 10 points.
Next, choose a mastermind from the next team and continue.
7-16
10 - 15 minutes
Restrict the number of guesses to 10.
Allow students to choose a topic from which they will select a word, making the task more challenging.
Offer various incentives: guessing correctly grants a chance to throw a ball at a target for scores or tasks, while incorrect guesses may result in fun challenges like singing a song or performing a dance.
