How to Play the Telephone Game

Step 1

Teens should stand in a straight line or form a circle. They should stand close enough to whisper in each other’s ear, but be mindful that other participants should not be able to hear them.

Step 2

Choose an appropriate word or phrase depending on the age of the group of people playing the game.

The first person must whisper the word, phrase, or sentence to the next person in line. They must try to say it as clearly as possible and may not repeat it.

The following person must then whisper what they heard to the next person in line.

Step 3

Each person will whisper what they heard to the person standing next to them until the message is delivered to the last player in line.

Step 4

The last person then says the message out loud for everyone to hear.

In most cases, the final message is very different from the original message.

The first player then reveals what the original message was.

The participants will find it hilarious to hear how the original phrase or word has been distorted.

🤓 If you have a small group, then you might like to choose some games to play with 3 people. 

Telephone Game Rules

1. Participants should whisper the word, phrase, or sentence only once and may not repeat it. Even if the next person could not hear or understand what was correctly whispered, make sure they continue playing because that is the point of the game.
2. Even though you should whisper the words, you should speak slowly and clearly so that the person can hear you.
3. Uncommon phrases or hard-to-pronounce words make the game more fun. The word or phrase should never be too familiar; you want to make sure it changes as it is whispered.
4. Words that rhyme and alliteration are great to use as well.
5. The original message should only be shared with the first player at the beginning and kept secret until the end of the game.
6. The facilitator of the game may wish to have the original phrase or word written down.

How Do You Choose a Good Phrase?

To make this popular game fun, it is essential to have some good broken-telephone game phrases.

It will be best to have a few phrases ready before the game starts.

If you want to make it even more entertaining, you should pick words and phrases that are challenging and easy to misunderstand when whispered.

Make the phrase silly enough for teens to have funny facial expressions as they pass the message along.

Alliteration, tongue twisters, rhymes, funny statements, or nonsense phrases are the best terms for children to use in telephone games.

However, when playing with tweens or younger children, make the phrases appropriate for their age. Don’t make them too long or complex for the kids to pronounce or remember.

Telephone Game Variations

It can be boring to play the same old game repeatedly. While it is fun to play broken telephone, some players might want to try something different.

If you want to add a fun twist to the game, try one of the following variations!

Rumors

There is a variation of the telephone game called Rumors, in which players intentionally alter one or two words.

Watch how the words become twisted as they spread, just as a rumor does!

Team Telephone Game

The Telephone Game is great for large groups, especially with many players. It works well as a team-building activity.

You can either give both teams the same word or phrase, or you can let them choose one themselves.

Whoever ends the sentence closest to the original will win.

Read My Lips Whisper Challenge

In this version of the telephone game, players must wear noise-canceling headphones so that they cannot hear what the other players are saying.

The first person gets a word or phrase and says it out loud to the next player.

Each person repeats out loud what they think they said until it’s revealed in the end.

Watch BTS play the Whisper Challenge Game in this video below:



Charades Telephone Game

Here’s a wacky version of the game that combines charades with a telephone game. In this variation, the person must act the word or phrase with body language and facial expressions instead of whispering the word.

Watch how to play Charades Telephone Game in the video below:



Drawing Telephone Game

With this variation, the first player selects a word and begins the illustration of that word by drawing a single line.

The next player is quietly informed of the word and must continue drawing with just one line.

At the end of the round, the word is not revealed to the last player, and they must guess it from the drawing!

A board game version of this Telestrations.

Every player gets a sketchbook and has to sketch a word from their card. The sketchbook is then passed to the player next to them and they have to guess and write down what they think the drawing is. This process of drawing and guessing continues until you get your original sketchbook back. Then you go through each sketchbook together and see where it went wrong.

Telestrations Family Board Game

Text Message Telephone

This is the modern spin on the old-fashioned game of telephone.

Instead of whispering phrases to each other down a line, players send text messages instead using their phones. 

The first person writes a short message on a piece of paper and shows it to the next person in line.

The recipient has fifteen seconds to memorize the message.

Then they write a text message, trying to make an exact copy of what they just read.

The first player then shows the message to the second player on their phone for 15 seconds, then takes it away.

Each person gets a turn to read and type the message. Finally, the last person reads their text message aloud.

The group then compares their texts with the original message.

Online Telephone Game Translations

You can download apps for Apple and Android devices that will translate your original phrase into different languages. When it eventually comes back to the original language, you’ll get some hilariously incorrect translations.

A word association game is a game in which a word is given to a student and then that student must say an associated word or phrase. Word association games are a fantastic way to help students practice using their existing vocabulary and to learn new English words.

While playing word association games, students are likely to encounter words that they have not heard before. These words are associated with the vocabulary they already know, and so it is very easy for students to guess the meanings of these new words. This makes word association games fantastic for learning new words.

Let’s look at some different ways in which you can play word association games with your students.

Simple Word Association

The simplest way to play word association games in class is to simply give one student a word and ask that student to say the first thing that comes to mind. For example, if you say the word “drink” a student might say the word “juice”. Then, the next student should say the first word which comes to their mind, for example, “orange”.

If you’re playing this game with kids, then to make it even more fun you could get them to pass a ball as they play. When a student has the ball it is their turn, and once they have said their word they should pass the ball to the next player.

However, if you are playing word association games while social distancing in the classroom, then it is probably best not to pass a ball around. Instead, you could ask your students to stand up from their desks when it is their turn.

Word Association Topics

Another fun way to play word association games in class is to choose a particular topic and ask students to say words associated with that topic. Usually, when playing word association games, students would start at one word, and after a few turns, the words might become completely unrelated to the original topic.

But when playing a word association game with a particular topic, all words must be related to the main topic. For example, if you choose the topic ‘food’ then every word must be a kind of food. If a student says ‘milk’ for example, then that student would be out as it is a drink and not a food.

Here are some topics you could use for your next word association game:

• Types Of Food
• Types Of Drinks
• Countries
• Hobbies
• Sports
• Superheroes
• Colors
• Furniture in a house
• School Subjects
• Types Of Weather

Guess The Secret Word

A really fun way to get your students thinking while playing a word association game is to have them try and guess a secret word. Rather than have students say any associated word that comes to mind, instead think of a secret word and tell them some words associated with that.

Then students should try to guess what the secret word is. To make it more fun you could even ask students to guess other words which might be associated to the secret word.

For example, if the secret word was ‘yellow’ you could say the word “banana” to your students. Then they might guess something like “apple” and you can tell them it is not related. But when they say something like “lemon” you can tell them that it is associated with it.

After some time students will be able to guess the secret word. This way of playing a word association game is a fantastic way to get students to practice their thinking skills while learning new vocabulary.

Ryhming Words

This way of playing word association games can lead to some hilarious answers. Simply give students a word and ask them to come up with a word which rhymes. In this game, the words don’t necessarily have to be related. They just need to rhyme.

For example, you might say the word “cold” and students might say “old”, “mold”, “bold”, “told”, etc. The first student who can’t come up with a rhyming word is out.

Chain Game

This last word association style game is one you have probably played at some point in your life. In this game a student would say one word and then the next student must say a word which starts with the last letter of the previous word.

For example, if the word was ‘pizza’ then the next student must say a word beginning with ‘a’. Then, the next student might say “apple” and so the next student must say a word beginning with ‘e’. And so, on. The first student who cannot say a word is out.

Thanks for reading. I hope you found some inspiration for your next word association game.

With an estimated 3.24 billion video gamers in the world, gaming can be an exhilarating and practical way to improve your language skills. To succeed at many of the most popular online games, you need to co-operate and communicate with other players – often against the clock. So, when it comes to those games popular with English speakers, the better you know gamer slang, the better your gaming experience will be.

If you’re new to it, gaming language can seem a world away from formal English. Get online and you’ll soon find that gamer talk is peppered with acronyms, slang and distinctive words that describe everything from a player’s gaming style to the enemies you encounter in the virtual world.

The good news is that getting to grips with English gaming phrases isn’t difficult. Even if you’re a noob, learning the most common gaming vocabulary will give you a great start – whether you’re playing Minecraft, Fortnite, League of Legends, World of Warcraft or any of the other hugely popular Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOs / MMOGs) that are out there.

To get you started, we take a look at 25 common English gaming phrases and what they mean. To make things simple, we’ve put them into two groups – Gaming Acronyms and Gamer Slang. GLHF!

Gaming Acronyms

1. BRB. This means ‘Be Right Back’ – handy for when you need to grab a drink. If you’re away from the game for longer, use AFK (‘Away From Keyboard).
2. CU / CYA. Leaving the game? These mean ‘see you’ / ‘see ya’ (goodbye).
3. DLC. This stands for Downloadable Content – extra features that you can download from within the game, like characters, tools, costumes, levels and other items. Some DLCs are free, while others cost money.
4. GG / GGWP. If someone has played well, say so with GG (Good Game) or GGWP (Good Game, Well Played). But be careful – GG can also be used sarcastically to taunt a losing player (i.e. it means ‘Bad Game’!) or to brag about a victory (GG EZ means ‘Good Game, Easy’).
5. GLHF. Good Luck, Have Fun. Often used in a friendly way to wish other players luck at the beginning of a game.
6. IRL. In Real Life – this is used to refer to something happening in the real world, not the game.
7. MP. Magic Points or Mana Points – these measure your power to use special magical abilities.
8. OTW. This is ‘On The Way’. You can say this to tell other players you’re on the way to help them.
9. WTT. ‘Want To Trade’. Use this to tell another player you want to trade an item or items.
10. XP. These are (E)Xperience Points – as you progress through levels, gain new skills and powers, you build up XP.

Gamer Slang

Had enough of acronyms for the time being? Then try out these words and phrases…

1. Adds. These are ‘additional enemies’ which you often have to fight during ‘boss’ encounters (see no. 13)
2. Bots. A bot is an automated, non-human opponent – some games let you play against bots if you’re not online. Sometimes you’ll see human players calling other people bots, but it’s best to avoid this as it’s an insult.
3. Boss A ‘boss’ is a really tough enemy who frequently appears at the end of a level or a game. Defeating them can take a hard-won combination of skills, weapons or powers.
4. Buff / Nerf. Any change that makes in-game characters or weapons more powerful is called a ‘buff’. The opposite is a ‘nerf’. The term ‘nerf’ comes from a brand of toy guns with soft bullets (i.e. ones that are designed to not cause injury!)
5. Camping. This phrase refers to staying or hiding in one place or area of an online world. Some players do this to surprise and ambush enemies. Lots of players frown on this behaviour.
6. Cheesing. If you’re cheesing, you’re using powerful strategies that are easy to deploy and nearly impossible for an opponent to beat. Sometimes people do this by taking advantage of a glitch in a game.
7. Easter Eggs. An Easter egg is a hidden feature, reference, in-joke or message in a game. This article has 15 of the best over the years.
8. Farming / Grinding. Grinding refers to a player performing repetitive tasks to gain benefits such as weapons, loot or XP. Farming is similar, but is used when a character repeatedly acquires loot from a single source.
9. Hacking / Hacker.Hacking / Hacker. These words mean cheating or a cheater – if someone is being called a hacker, other players are accusing them of cheating in some way.
10. Get Rekt / Git Rekd. These mean ‘get wrecked’. You’d use them to describe a player who has suffered a major defeat. It’s often used as an insult, so be careful when using it.
11. Mats. Short for ‘materials’, such as wood, stone, brick and metal in games like Fortnite.
12. Pwned. A misspelling of ‘owned’, if you’ve been pwned it means you’ve been beaten in a game.
13. Noob. This word means ‘newbie’ – someone who’s an inexperienced player.
14. Ragequit. This is when someone gets so enraged during a game that they stop playing and leave.
15. Stomp. A stomp is a very one-sided game – if someone on your team says ‘we’re getting stomped’, it means they think things are going badly!
