The road to the Boss
Say a word and pass the bomb before it blows!
How to play
1. Spin a letter. Topic: .
2. The team with the bomb says a word from the topic that starts with the letter, then presses Pass.
3. No repeats, no long pauses. The fuse is secret: 20–45 seconds.
4. 💥 Team holding the bomb: −1★. The other team: +2★.
Ready?
Find the English word and its Russian twin.
Turn over two cards. A match = +1★ and play again. No match = the other team's turn. Bonus: use the word in a sentence = +1★ (scoreboard).
Answer blind for 3★, or wait for the options for 2★.
Bet 1, 2 or 3 stars, then see the question.
How sure are you? Right = win your bet. Wrong or too slow = lose it.
Build the sentence. One word is a trap!
Every sentence has one mistake. Tap it!
Found it = +2★. Then say the correct version for +1★ more. Wrong tap = the other team can steal for +2★.
Describe the word. Don't say the forbidden ones!
One describer, the team guesses
60 seconds per team. The describer faces the screen; the team sits with their backs to it. Guess as many words as you can!
Crack the secret unit word, one letter at a time.
Right letter = keep going. Wrong letter = lose a ❤ and the turn passes. Shout the whole word on your turn: right = +3★, wrong = −1★. Need a clue? The Russian hint costs 1★.
Talk for 45 seconds. No stopping!
Spin for a question…
Judges can ask one follow-up question “Why?” — answer well for +1 (scoreboard).
🧱 Answer + Reason + Example
Answer: I'd say… / In my opinion…
Reason: because… / The main reason is…
Example: For example… / Last year, I…
Wrap up: So, all in all…
This is exactly what examiners want in Speaking Parts 1 and 4.
Key Word Boss: rewrite the sentence with the word in CAPITALS.
Use 2–5 words, including the key word. Don't change it!
The Grammar Boss
Both teams write on whiteboards. Every correct answer hits the Boss (+3★).
