What's your favourite language game?

When I was in middle school, my English teacher made us play this language game: Choose a starting word and have each player take turns saying a word that is associated with the previous word.

It was super useful for vocabulary expansion and creativity!

Do you have a language game that you like?

I remember the first Chinese game I played on a team bonding weekend with the LTL Beijing team.

We sat in two rows on the bus (on the way to Inner Mongolia) and the people on the back row had to write a Chinese character (with their finger) on the back of the person in front of them. This process continued for 5/6 people until it reaches the front person who has to guess the character.

This was particularly a challenge for me at the time as my Chinese was super basic, but it was a lot of fun!

Such a nice game!!

It sounds like a lot of fun!!

What about favourite game shows? I quite like watching these to learn a language because you can play along.

I used our article here, written by an italian friend, to help me learn Italian whilst watching TV and playing along.
