Turn the question cards over. Students must make up their own yes / no questions from memory.

Describe the Workplace Only

The student mimes only workplace objects (a desk, a vehicle, a stove) without direct job actions.

Speed Round

Teams have only 30 seconds per card and can only ask a maximum of 3 questions before guessing.

1. Which job from today would you like to have in the future? Why?

2. Which job was the easiest to mime and guess during the game?

3. What workplace question helped your team win the most points?
