How to Play

1. Students have already gone through the lesson and have understood the concept. Now through "I went Shopping Game/ Chain Game they will be framing the answers with  excitement and fun .
2. A leader is chosen for every round (students should not be repeated and the teacher should check that everyone gets a chance). The leader reads aloud the question and runs to touch one of the players as soon as she or he touches the other player, she or he tells one key point or an idea or a part of the answer. If the later fails to do it the player is out for that particular round. If the player tells the key point then both of them run together (holding their hands), to touch the other person to get the remaining parts of the answer or ideas. One player tells only one key point. The round continues until the complete answer or all the key points are obtained. At last the leader once again reads out the question and frames the answer using all the key points.
