Matt has selected the Proclaim! word "FOOT".  He has three chances to get one or more of the players to say this word.  Let's take a peek inside Matt's head...

Hmmmm, I really need to catch up to Kathi.  I need to give a clue that only one player will guess correctly so that I get lots of points.  How about RABBIT'S "BLANK"?  No, no, no!  What else would fit besides "FOOT" -- that is TOO obvious!  Well... I know there are LOTS of different kinds of balls, so I'll say:

“BLANK” BALL

After the timer is flipped, each player writes down the answer they think fits the clue.  Everyone has written an answer:

Kathi remembers her sixth grade gym class and says,

“MEDICINE”

  Steven is clairvoyant, so he responds mysteriously,


“CRYSTAL”

         
         

Joe loves to tango and says,

“FORMAL”

 

Preston is dreaming of colder climates and says,

“SNOW”

         
         

Sylvie thinks of her handsome red-headed beau, so she says,

“FIRE”

 

Raj wistfully recalls his boyhood athletic days and says,

“SOCCER”

 

Matt pats himself on the back for giving such a clever clue that leads everyone to give a different answer.  He consults the Proclaim! Scoring Card for 7 players and moves forward 5 spaces for getting unique responses from each player.

But, no one answered correctly, so he must give a second clue
