Hi,
does anybody know the "chinese whispers" game?
This is usually played at PC courses. Students make a circle or an
interruped line and the first person in this line communicates a
word/phrase/sound to the next person, witout letting anybody else hear. Then
the word/sound etc. is circulated to thg group until the initial person is
reached.
The goal is to see if the same word/sound makes it to the end or not.
Usually it doesn't and and everybody lough (even well before the circle
closes up).
What is not clear to me is if the word /sound that you communicate should
always be something difficult to understand, in order to make sure that it
becomes distorted along the way?
Are there any other rules that may make the game more entertaining?

All the best
Antonio
