Game description
One child is selected to represent the foreigner. From the team leader, he receives a word or term. The objective is to use pantomime so that the other kids can guess what you mean. The child is allowed to speak gibberish, without using his mother tongue. In other words, you talk in a way, so that the sentences are not really understandable. For example, you might want to ask where the nearest subway is. How can you make yourself understandable using only sign language? This is a funny game which indeed happens in reality as well. If the kids can guess what it is, another child becomes the stranger in the city. However, you can also play this game in two teams. In this case, the member can talk to each other and suggest ideas what the strange might be saying. Coordinated teams definitely have more chances to win.
