Number of players: It can be played from 4 up to 12 students.
Time: It depends on how many students will play. This game takes around 1 hour
with 12 students.
Material: Page 2- board game, Page 3 - students notes, Page 4 - Mystery
sentences, Page 5 Information to make the mystery sentences, a dice and
makers (not included).
How to play: Each player is given a Mystery Sentence Sheet (page4) and they are
supposed to write a mystery sentence using the information on page 5 including
Who, Action, Where, How, When and Why.

Example: Daniel Green wrote a book in Italy by subway last month to be famous.
The sentences are supposed to be funny and students cant show each other
sentence, they have to ask Yes/ No questions, in order to guess any players
sentence. They have to throw the dice before asking a question and move to the
square the dice indicates, then they have to ask only one question per turn until
they find out any players mystery sentence.

Examples: (Who) Are you Laura Smith? (Action) Did you cook dinner? (Where)
Were you in India? (How) Did you go on foot? (When) Was it yesterday? (Why)
Was it for love?
For each question made, students take notes on their answer sheet (page 3) with
Yes/ No until they discover another players mystery sentence. The winner is the
player that guesses another players sentence first.
