For example; she shows a part of her body, and of her students come to his near and asks: “What is the matter with you?”. Teacher says: “I have got a headache. The student, who asks, begins to pretend he has got a headache. Simultaneously, other student comes and asks: “What is the matter with you?”, he answers: “I have got a backache .” Until the end of the game, every student asks question, answers his peers and does actions which are different from his answer. Student means the topic 'health problems'  in a cheerful and meaningful context.

Hence, the teacher sees whether the game is successful to get the target of course or not.
