ready?
Okay! This game is entitled “The magic box
and the My story questions.”

I have here a box that contains mystery

questions.I will give this to you and as the
music plays you will pass this carefully to
your seatmate. When the music stops, the
person holding the box will pick one question
and answer it. This is not just a simple game
because it comes with a twist. In each
question, there is a mystery task that needs
to be done before answering it and also,
bear in mind not to drop the box or else the
person who drop sit will be the one who will
pick a question and answer it.

Is the instruction clear?

the back, plays the music, pauses the music)
