The Rules 

 
 

Objective:  

 

The objective is to gather as many families as possible. This 
game allows the students to say if they often do this or that. 
 
How to play the Game: 

 

1. Make groups of 4-5 players and give a set of cards for each 
group, as well as a brief summary of the 7 families. 

 

2. One of the players is the dealer. He/she shuffles the cards 
and deals them out to the other players. 

 

3. The dealer starts the game by choosing a player and asking 
him/her a question (ex: ‘Do you often watch the news?’’).  

•  If the player does not have the card, he/she answers ‘No, I 

don’t.’ (short answer) or ‘No, I never watch the news.’ 
(long answer). Then, it is the player sitting on the dealer’s 
left who chooses someone and asks him/her a question. 

•  If the player does have the card, he/she answers ‘Yes, I 

do.’ (short answer) or ‘Yes, I often / always watch the 
news’. (long answer) Then, the dealer can continue to ask 
questions. He / She can ask the same player or choose 
another one. 

 

4. 

The game continues until all the families have been 

gathered. The winner is the player who has gathered the most 
families.
