Procedure
1 Give an example of Call My Bluff. Write monsoon on the board with three
definitions: a) a frightening animal, b) the rainy season in India, c) a drink. Invite
the class to guess what the correct definition is and give a reason for their answer
(answer: b).
2 Organise the class into pairs or small groups and tell them they are either a team A
or a team B. There should be an equal numbers of team As and team Bs. Give
worksheet A to each team A and worksheet B to each team B.
3 Allow each team some time to think of and write down a third definition for each
word in the space provided. Encourage discussion of possible definitions.
4 Reorganise the class so that you have a team A working with each team B. Students
take it in turns to read out the three definitions for each word. The other team tries
to guess which definition is the correct one. The winner is the team with the most
correct guesses.
