GAME: FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS

This game is meant to be played by one speaker of Rotuman and several children or learners of any age.  It will help you learn to understand the language.  It does not require any speaking skills, except by the leader.

Instructions for the Leader: Begin by giving one of the commands below in Rotuman and demonstrate what it means (no need to provide the English).  Then add another command and demonstrate.  Review the two commands.  When you have introduced about 5, and have given the children/students plenty of chances to hear them, the game begins.  You give a direction, and he/she shows he understands by doing the action correctly.  Or you can do it with the whole group at once.  Make up your own rules:  For example, if they do the wrong thing they are out of the game.  Last one left wins a prize.
