The word should be an uncommon one as the idea is to see how much it changes by the game's end. Once the word has been told to the next person, they will whisper it to the person next to them. Alternatively, choose a word with three or more syllables, such as: extraterrestrial, planetarium, or encyclopedia. Base the difficulty of the word on the age of the audience. What might seem difficult for a 5 year old would be easy for a 12 year old. If this is for school, consider using one of the vocabulary words that you are studying.
You can also use a term from a science class. Continue whispering the word. Players continue listening to the word and repeating what they think they heard to the person next to them. This is done until the last person in the line or circle is told the word.
By the end of the game, every person should have heard the word or phrase. See how much the word changed. Once the last person hears the word or phrase, they will say what they think they heard out-loud. This is compared to the original word that the game started with. Part 2. Say a word or phrase only once. An important rule for the game of telephone, is that you can only say a word or phrase one time. Repeating the phrase will only help to clarify it, going against the point of the game.
Only allow those playing one chance to whisper the word or phrase on their turn. Pick a unique word or phrase. The fun of telephone is to see how much a word changes throughout the game.
Picking a simple or familiar word will make the game too easy, allowing the word to be heard clearly. Instead, it's a good idea to pick a difficult, long, or unique word to use when playing telephone. Something like "bayou" might be a better choice. Using the word "misanthropic" could be a challenging choice, and suitable for older children.
Let only one person know the word. It's important that no one but the person starting the round of telephone knows the word being used. If other players know the word, they will be able to repeat it with ease.
Sometimes, the word does not get changed at all by the last person. This means that the players are really good at listening and honest about not changing the word. Always whisper. You will need to whisper a word or phrase to a person during the game of telephone. Whispering helps in two ways; keeping the word a secret and making it hard to interpret correctly. Keeping the word quiet can make it more likely that it will end up being misheard and wildly different from the starting phrase.
Part 3. Play in teams. Playing telephone in teams can add a fun competitive edge to the game. Teams will each play the game in same manner, with one person starting the game off and the players whispering it down the line. However, one player is chosen to whisper the same word to both teams.
The goal is to see which team can end the game with the word being closest to the original. Words that are farther apart from the original will generally have wildly different sounds and meanings.
