Activity 9. Game: Win, Loose or draw
Note: Teacher will use vocabulary/phrases from activity 2, 4, and 6.
Steps:
1. Teacher will write the words/phrases on index cards (one word=1 index card)
2. Divide students into two groups (Team A and Team B or they can name themselves).
3. Teacher will decide which team will draw first (for example, let's assume that Team A will draw first. Team A will then choose one of their team members to draw for their group).
4. Teacher will show a card to the person from Team A and he will try to draw the object. As he is drawing, the rest of Team A will try to guess the name of the object. As he is drawing, the rest of team member is trying to draw (They have 1 (one) minute to guess what the object is and say the correct Palauan name). Team B must not call out the answer at this time because Team A can steal their ideas and get a point for guessing right.
5. If Team A fails to guess the object in 1 (one) minute, then Team B will get a chance to guess the correct name. If team B guess correctly, they get the one point.
6. Then it's Team B's turn draw and guess the name of the object (follow step 1-5).
7. After Team B, then it's Team A's turn until everyone in both teams has had a chance to draw or until they've drawn and guessed all the words correctly
8. The team with the most points wins.
