Listen to your partner’s phrase and either add an additional point with the same point of view or look at the opposite side of something depending on the flip of a coin:
- Heads = addition (= adding another point on the same side)
- Tails = concession (contrasting, arguing against, etc)
Your partner will then flip and coin and continue talking about the same thing in the same way, but they must use a different connecting word. Continue in the same way about the same topic, using a different linking word each time, until someone gives up. Then choose another topic and play the same game.
