The game of telephone is a classic ice breaker and party game. It’s easy to set up and a lot of fun to play. You and your friends will try to pick a word or phrase, “pass it on” by whispering(耳語) it to someone next to you, and have fun seeing how much it changed during the game. All you will need to play is a couple of friends, a word or phrase, and a whisper.

Get everyone in place.

Although the game of telephone is simple to play, you will need to arrange(安排) the players in a way that supports the game. Have everyone stand in either a line or a circle. Players should be spaced far enough apart that they won’t overhear the word when it isn’t their turn. Proper position is important when playing telephone.

Start the game.

Choose a person to start the game. Make the person think of a word or give a certain word to him or her. And he or she should whisper it to the person next to them. The pronunciation of the word should sound like many others’ 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.

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. Every person should have heard the word or phrase by the end of the game.

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. This is the moment when all the players get to learn just how much the word or phrase changed through their “telephone line”.

1.The writer wants to tell us how to ______ by writing this passage.

A. hold an interesting party B. learn words and phrases C. play a party game D. how to make friends

2.Picture ______ is the right way of playing the game of telephone.

A. B. C. D.

3.The words in Group ______ may be heard in the game of telephone.

A. duck-dark-park-luck B. except-expect-expert-express

C. good-well-better-best D. luck-lucky-luckily-unluckily

4.When the ______ person hears the word or phrase, he or she should speak it out loudly.

A. first B. second C. middle D. last

5.According to the passage, statement ______ is TRUE.

A. The people who are in this game should stand next to each other closely.

B. We need some friends, a word or phrase and a telephone to play the game.

C. When you pass the word to the person next to you, you should shout it aloud.

D. The game of telephone can be played both in birthday parties and New Year parties.
