Question - Night Activity

‎Could you tell me any recommendations for activities that would help us learn English, like the 20 questions game? (https://www.englishhints.com/question-game.html)

In the English training I am currently participating in, I need to plan and hold a simple activity that will help the participants learn English.

In detail:
* Activities will be held for about an hour after the training.
* Since the activity is held online using ZOOM, it is preferable only conversation without using any tools.
* Although the number of participants is 18, we can divide it into several groups by using the ZOOM function.
* I've already done Shiritori. Shiritori is a word game in Japan in which one player has to say a word starting with the last syllable of the word given by the previous player.

Thank you so much and awaiting your reply.

例えば20の質問のような、英語学習に役立つアクティビティのおすすめがあれば教えていただけないでしょうか。
私は現在参加している英語の研修で、受講者の英語学習に役立つような簡単なアクティビティを用意する必要があります。
詳細
・アクティビティは研修終了後に1時間ほど開催されます
・ZOOMを使ったオンラインでの開催のため、道具を使わずに会話だけで成立するものが好ましいです
・参加人数は18名ですが、ZOOMの機能により複数のグループに分割できます
・すでにしりとりはやりました。
コメントをお待ちしております。ありがとうございます。

Feedback

A person describes a book, movie or TV show without naming the characters or the actors. Others try to figure out which movie, show or book they're talking about.

For example:
Person A: In this movie, a human boy is raised by animals in the jungle.
Person B: Tarzan?
Person A: No. The boy becomes friends with a bear.
Person B: Hmmm... I still don't know.
Person A: A tiger hunts the boy.
Person C: The Jungle Book!
Person A: Yes!

Person B: Detectives solve crimes.
Person A: Sherlock?
Person B: It takes place in Japan.
Person A: Seibu Keisatsu?
Person B: It is popular with middle aged men.
Person C: It's not Seibu Keisatsu?
Person B: It is old. It was on TV in the 1980s.
Person A: Oh! Taiyou ni Hoero!
Person B: Yes!

This may require a fairly high level of English skill.

Another game:
Round Robin - People take turns telling a story sentence by sentence, or even word by word.

Sentence by sentence:
Person A: I went outside.
Person B: Godzilla was there!
Person C: I ran back inside because I was afraid.
Person A: Godzilla asked me to come outside.
Person B: I said "No!"
Person C: Godzilla said "Please?"
Person A: So I went outside.
Person B: I said "What do you want?"
Person C: Godzilla asked me for directions to the ocean.

Word by word:
A: Mr. Smith
B: loves
C: Mary.
A: So
B: he
C: married
A: her.

These are used by improv actors to warm up!

Thank you for your correction and for introducing two games. They are both interesting and I'll try to play both.
