The teacher then reads out a statement from one of the 100 provided, such as: “Find something with a long nose”. The students must then scan through their sheet and find a correct word, such as “elephant”. The student who finds a correct word the fastest gains a point. The student who receives a total of ten points first is the winner of the game.
