teams. First round students must describe the word to their team members when they get the word a scribe writes it down a piece of paper. Then when the first team completes all (or the timer stops) students keep the papers of the word guessed, add up their points (one per word) and return them, and them only to the cup- teacher takes the remaining words not guessed from each team. Round two, picking up one word at a time students must act out that word (the aid is the list in front of them of previously guessed words) same thing, first team to finish gets those points, all other points of other teams are also counted so the first winning team has the advantage but others can act out all the words quicker and get more points. Round three, just a gesture (or a sound) to describe the word.
