The Coffee Pot Game

The Coffee Pot Game is a listening and speaking activity where one person thinks of a word and replaces it with "coffee pot" in sample sentences. Others must guess the original word based on the clues. Any type of word can be used, and people can also ask questions. The game goes back and forth as each person who correctly guesses takes a turn thinking of the next word to replace with "coffee pot". The goal is to describe things and situations using "coffee pot" in place of the mystery word to help others deduce the original term.
