Language (how we use words and sounds to communicate) and discourse (verbal expression in speech and writing) are more important than vocabulary (knowledge of words).
"Talk To Me" is a game show (in the tradition of Taboo and Pictionary) that requires teams of contestants to build language and discourse skills by guessing vocabulary terms from verbal and/or pictorial clues presented by a single teammate.
The clue giver is provided with the term's formal definition (which does not always help)!
Teams take turns giving and guessing clues for 30-90 seconds per round. The game host and commissioner decide the actual length of each round, as well as the number of rounds per game. At the end of the game, the team that guessed the most terms correctly wins!
Required Materials & Suggested Roles
- Talk To Me card sets (DOWNLOADABLE ZIP FILE - INCLUDES RULES!)
- Whiteboard with markers (one for clues, one for scorekeeping)
- Egg timer (30-90-second) or watch
- Scorekeeper
- Timekeeper
- Commissioner (peacekeeper)
- Host
Purchasers must use a laser or inkjet printer to print their 130-card set on Avery 8371 perforated business card stock, which yields 10 cards per page.

I love this game. I use it in my mathematics courses to review. I would like to see other editions if they are available as well.
