Reflexive Pronouns Race
Adults speak about daily routines, self-care, and personal experiences using reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves). Players move around a 24-space board, answering communicative prompts that require them to describe what they do for themselves and others. Genuine information gaps and real-world scenarios keep the game engaging and purposeful.
