Syllables

SYLLABLES

TYPE: Moderate

Play in a circle

One player is chosen to leave the room.  The leader then chooses a multi-syllable word (or words) to use in the game.  The remaining players are divided into groups corresponding to the number of syllables in the chosen word, and one syllable is assigned to each group.  The player returns and all the groups say their syllables simultaneously, three times.  After each time the player has a chance to guess the word.  If the player guesses correctly, he/she wins.

Example #1: Word: Jerusalem

            Group  #1 says JE

            Group  #2 says U

            Group  #3 says SA

            Group  #4 says LEM

Example #2: Words: Tel Aviv

            Group #1 says TEL

Group #2 says A

Group #3 says VIV
