INTRODUCTION

Noun station showcases two separate games but both games

focus on noun phrases. The two games are known as Noun

Chain and Blind Noun.

To succeed at this station, it is necessary for the

participants to have some knowledge on noun phrases. Without

the background knowledge, the challenge is greater.

Noun Chain deals with compound nouns whereby

Blind Noun touches on collective nouns. The games are

somewhat similar in style. Both games require the participants

to match the provided words. Nonetheless, the marking

system is slightly different.

To ensure active participation from every participant,

four groups are formed and two groups are assigned to one

game at a time. After certain period of time, the groups switch

game. Due to this, close monitoring of the time is vital.

To prevent chaos, it is advisable to have 3 facilitators

to run the station. Each facilitator has his or her own

responsibility: one is in-charge of the overall situation, namely

the Preparation and Closing stages, while the other two

facilitators manage the games separately.
