     In relation to the last two games I played in my previous tutoring session which included “Charades” and “Pictionary”, I introduced a new game which was “Catchphrase”. Catchphrase is the attempt to describe a word given to you with a small window of time before the buzzer goes off.  This adds intense pressure for describers to use as many descriptive terms, situations, names, and hints or else they don’t get a point. Hye-Jeong is usually immensely shy when it comes to speaking. The only times I have heard her speak was during Charades and Pictionary in a long span of time. Catchphrase was of no exception, this time being the most I’ve heard her speak. I was very proud and happy to witness her usage of English and excitement in doing so. Both of the girls did extremely well and I had fun describing some words, as well as holding my tongue to give the girls a chance to guess each other’s words. I really enjoy Catchphrase as it really stresses bringing out all the knowledge in your brain about the given word. It also supports the idea of how teaching a subject is the best way to learn. Since the girls were describing and thus “teaching” us their word, they in turn end up learning more about their word than we do.
