NB: change "P" at each turn of the floor...
> we launch the hourglass, "P" takes a piece of paper and makes his team guess as many words as possible. When the hourglass ends, move on to the next group and so on until there is no more paper in the hat.
NB: each group keeps the papers until the end of the round.
> Count the number of guessed words for each group and note the results on a sheet.
> Put all the papers back in the hat and move on to the next round.

Comments
in general, great success!
game that relies on memorizing words at each round
the fact of creating the game yourself by writing the words on a paper puts the app. confident because they know at least five words...!
