NO I's GAME

GAME: NO I's PLEASE

In this exercise a participant will come to the front and others will ask him/her questions about his/her life and things. The only condition is that he/she cannot use the word "I" while answering the questions. If "I" appears in the responses then he/she will step back and another person will come to test his/her staying power without giving into to the urge of using "I".

DICTIONARY GAME

Asked the students to use a dictionary and write the meaning of a word (like Education, Marriage, Family, Job, Employment, Game, Happiness, Poverty) and read it before the class. The audience should then try to figure out which is that word that the speaker is trying to define by this sentence. Points can be given to the team which does it right; first without any clue, then with a clue, for eg., this word begins with the letter "p".
