Backs to the Board: the whiteboard game that sorts who studied from who didn't
- First time running it: Do a demo round with the whole class giving clues to you while you face the board. They'll understand in fifteen seconds.
- Shy teams: If one side won't shout, pause the round and tell them they get five seconds to discuss strategy in Korean, then English only. Removes the fear of being first to speak.
- Words to avoid: Homonyms (right, bear) and proper nouns. The clue-giving becomes impossible and the round dies.
- Scorekeeping: Tally on the side of the board. Makes it visible and cuts the "Wait, what's the score?" question every ninety seconds.
