INTRODUCTION
This game includes students ability towards guessing . It also provides them to
infer about job what the students have. All of the students in the class are
divided to pairs. And each pair has two charts in which the names of the jobs
are written.

Playing The Game

One of members for each pairs have to choose one of the jobs in the charts.That
is to say student x chooses one of the jobs from chart 1 or chart 2.And also
student y tries to guess her/ his friend who he /she is. Meanwhile another
member of the other pair chooses one of the jobs from chart 3 or chart 4.By the
way the member of the pair who tries to guess friend who he/she is can also ask
his/her friend some questions about jobs.As the following questions:

Questions for guessing

Do you work indoors or outdoors? / in a trade or profession? / in a factory or an

office?
Do you work with your hands? Do you wear a uniform? Do you work long
hours?
Do you work from 9-5? Do you work regular hours? Do you work at weekends?
Do you work with people or machines? Are you in a service industry?
Do you sell something? Do you earn a lot of money? Must you have good
qualifications to do your job?

Additionally the students have to mime their jobs so that their partners can guess
what they are.By the way this game can play not only two pairs but also more
than two at least four pairs at the same time.Because there are four charts that
can be used at the same time. That is either two pairs can play in sequence by
choosing one of the jobs from chart 1 and chart 2 for the first pair, chart 3 and
chart 4 for the second pair or four pairs can also play by choosing job from only
one chart.In other words four pairs can play this game with charts at the same
time, every pair has one chart to choose jobs. By the way that is the main point
is the students should never say anything while they are miming their jobs.They
can only speak in order to answer their questions. And finally the fastest pair to
finish their jobs or the fastest pair who told their all jobs is the winner.
