Allow discussion in the student’s home language before giving clues. Provide visuals, gestures, or labeled images for vocabulary support. Pair students with a peer mentor who can model how to give clues and guess the word.

Encourage students to use synonyms or simple definitions when giving clues. Allow peer brainstorming before the game to generate possible one-word clues.

Ask students to explain connections between words using simple explanations or analogies (e.g., “This is like ___ because ___.”). Encourage students to elaborate on their clues using complete sentences.

Challenge students to use academic vocabulary or more precise descriptions when giving clues. Ask students to explain how their clue connects to the target word.

Encourage students to generate their own vocabulary lists for the game, analyze relationships between terms, and justify their clues using precise academic language and more complex explanations.
