Rules
In “ Alias” you have to say things in other words. The idea is to explain words using synonyms, antonyms, giving definitions and sentences with examples, but, in any case, you cannot name the word itself. There are 2 teams in a game with 2 participants in each. Each team mate has a set of 40 cards in total. Every participant has 2 minutes. Your team mates must guess these words before your time runs out. Then the participant of another team has its turn. During these 2 minutes, you need clearly explain as many words as you can so that your team can guess them easily. For example, if, during 2 minutes, your team has guessed 3 out of 5 words, you move 3 spaces forward on the game board. If you don’t know the word, you can skip it, but then your team need to move one space backward on the game board. The winner is the team who guesses more words and gets closer to the “Finish” line.
To explain the words on cards, you can use one of the patterns:
It is a thing\an object for… .
It is an animal which… .
It is a person who … .
It is a place where … .
It is a verb which means… .
It is an adjective which means… .
It is a synonym of … .
It is an opposite of … .
E.g.
It is a small object for carrying your personal belongings. (handbag)
It is an animal that has stripes. (zebra)
It is a verb which means to get better. (improve)
It is an opposite of safe. (dangerous)
