If no one knows the game, T gives instructions. T: “You each have the game board with the people and their names. Each player chooses a person - but keep it secret! This is your “Mystery Person.” The first person to guess your partner’s Mystery Person wins! In order to find out who your partner’s Mystery Person is, you have to ask ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions. Such as: Is your person wearing a hat? Is your person bald? Is your person a woman? Etc. After each guess, you eliminate the people who don’t apply. For instance, if I ask “Is your person wearing a hat?” and the answer is ‘no’ then I eliminate all the people wearing hats. When you are ready, you can guess who your partner’s Mystery Person is. If you guess correctly, you win!” T demonstrates with a CELTA colleague. T: “Now we’re going to play with our same partners. I sent an email with the game board as a pdf and jpeg file.
