Speaking game: The Hot Seat

First, one person is placed on the ¨hot seat¨ in the front of the classroom. In the next few slides, a word will appear for that person to guess. When a classmate raises their hand, they get a turn and use one (NOT MORE) sentence to give a hint. The person in the hotseat gets to guess after every two hints. When the word has been guessed, someone else does the same!

NOTE: when you use part of the word, a translation or gestures 

you are out of the game!
