Put students in pairs, sitting face to face.
Student A picks an item from the list (without showing Student B).
Student A describes the item using at least two relative clauses: "It's something that you use every day. It's a thing which helps you communicate with people."

If Student B guesses correctly within three clues, Student A gets a point.
Switch roles for the next item. Continue alternating.
The student with the most points after all items wins.
