How to play
Step 1
Choose one person to be “the executioner”.
“The executioner” and “the guesser(s)” choose a topic.
For example: Clothes, animals, movies, etc.
Step 2
“The executioner” chooses a secret word or sentence.
For example: “apple”
 | Step 3 “The executioner” draws a blank line for each letter in the word. _ _ _ _ _ Step 4 “The executioner” draws a gallows. |
| Step 5 “The guesser(s)” start guessing letters. “The executioner” fills the letter in the blanks if the players guess correctly. For exemple: a _ _ _ _ “The executioner” draws one part of the “hangman” when the players guess wrong. |  |
| Step 6 The game is over when: a) The guesser(s) complete the word or sentence. b) or “The executioner” completes the diagram. |  Option A The guesser(s) win |  Option B The executioner wins |
Strategies
Remember that all the words contains vowels, so start your guessing with the vowels and proceed with some of the more commonly used consonants.
Variation
If the idea of the gallows may be a little morbid, you can change the game to “The diver”. Ice cold water is drawn at the bottom of the diagram and the body is drawn part by part, to dive into the ice cold water.
