Guesstures is an American game based on “Charades” but played at a faster pace.
This Chinese adaptation ---“ 猜手势” is a fun way to review vocabulary.
It can enrich students of different learning styles.

AdaptationAdaptation Without the Guessture device, any timing device will
work.
For those who don’t feel comfortable to act, “Pictionary” is a great alternative.
For advanced learners, “Taboo” is a good adaptation.

Reflections
Establish yourself as a final judge to avoid
argument;
Allow everybody opportunities by assigning performance order;
Enforce clearly stated guidelines for the games.
