1.Gather all necessary materials:
-Flashcards with words or phrases (ensure they cover a variety of topics and difficulty levels)
-Timer or stopwatch
-Scoreboard or paper and pen to keep track of points
-Space large enough to accommodate all participants and allow for movement

-If the word is guessed correctly, the instructor awards a point to the team.
-If the word is not guessed correctly within the time limit, no points are awarded, and the instructor moves to the next group's representative.
4. Rotation and Continuation:
-After each round, rotate the role of the representative to the next participant in each group.
-Repeat steps 2-3 for each group until all groups have had a chance to participate in a round.
5. Scoring and Conclusion:
-Keep track of each group's points on the scoreboard or paper.
