Overview

What ABG knows about this game

In Give Me Five, your teammates have five seconds to guess a word – but first you need to figure out the word to be guessed and how to clue them in to that same word. The game is played with all players active in each round. A round starts by revealing a theme card and a letter card. Once a player has a word in mind that fits that theme and starts with that letter, she taps the card and gives a clue to her teammates. She and the other players then count down from five to zero - but instead of saying zero, she and her teammates must say the word at the same time. If they do, they claim the card; otherwise players on the other teams try to come up with a different word and clue to get their teammates to guess properly.
