Objective
Chinese Whispers is a simple language learning game were learners whisper English phrases around to other learners.
Instructions
1. Players sit in a circle. The first player thinks of a sentence or phrase (poem, book title, part of a song etc) and whispers this phrase to the person sitting next to them. The second player whispers it to the third player, and so on.
2. When the sentence reaches the person at the end of the line, ask that person to say what they had heard and ask the first player what the original sentence or phrase was. The two versions are often completely and humorously different from each other.
