Restricted is a fun, fast-paced game where students must try to describe the AUSTRALIAN ANIMALS to their teammates without using the name, or words on the card (similar to Taboo).
Basic Rules:
Teams have 2 minutes to guess as many animals from the clues given to them as they can. The clue giver shuffles the cards and draws the top card. The opposing team sets a timer for 2 minutes. The clue giver gives as many words and phrases as they can think of - that don’t include the Restricted words! to help their teammates guess the animal. If the teammates guess correctly within the time frame, they get a point, and the clue giver draws another card. Play continues until the timer runs out. There is no penalty for incorrect guesses. After the 2 minutes, the opposing team plays. The first team to 10 points wins
