Game Objectives

• I will show you some language with blanks.
• Your team must guess what word fits in the
  blanks.
• The word you choose must collocate well with the
  given language.
• Although more than one word might fit in the
  blank, you must guess the exact word that I have
  chosen.

3
Rules

• I will show one clue. Your group has a chance to
  guess what word fits in the blank. You only get
  one guess per clue so use it wisely.
• If nobody can guess the word that fits in the
  blank, then I will reveal another clue.
• We will repeat the process until one group
  guesses the word or we run out of clues.

  clue.
